I have not seen the movie “The Vow,” but from what I understand there is no mention of the faith commitment of the real-life couple. If you want to read the true story in their own—now reissued as a paperback with an additional chapter and photos—see The Vow: The True Events that Inspired the Movie, by Kim and Krickitt Carpenter and published by B&H. Here’s a description:
Life as Kim and Krickitt Carpenter knew it was shattered beyond recognition on November 24, 1993. Two months after their marriage, a devastating car wreck left Krickitt with a massive head injury and in a coma for weeks.You can watch below a Today Show appearance by the couple:
When she finally awoke, she had no idea who Kim was. With no recollection of their relationship and while Krickitt experienced personality changes common to those who suffer head injuries, Kim realized the woman he had married essentially died in the accident.
And yet, against all odds, but through the common faith in Christ that sustained them, Kim and Krickitt fell in love all over again. Even though Kim stood by Krickitt through the darkest times a husband can ever imagine, he insists, “I’m no hero. I made a vow.”
