00:00When Nesh experienced a brain injury in 2022, she completely forgot her boyfriend
00:04and her six-year-old daughter.
00:23She'd been dating him for one and a half years. She'd introduced him to her six-year-old daughter
00:28and their future was looking bright together.
00:30The first time I fell in love with him was long before my memory loss.
00:33I fell in love with how smart he is and funny and kind and a little bit weird,
00:39which I am too and I really love.
00:42But when Nesh woke up one October morning after suffering a brain injury,
00:47all of that was gone.
00:49Nesh still doesn't fully understand what happened that night.
00:52She had actually suffered multiple brain injuries throughout her life,
00:55ever since she was in a car accident at nine years old.
00:58Since that accident, any bump to her head might cause a concussion
01:02and the doctors believed that night she could have just hit her head on the headboard of the bed.
01:07Whatever happened that fateful night,
01:09it caused Nesh to forget some of the most important and closest people in her life.
01:14Nesh was diagnosed with amnesia and it was up to Johannes and Nesh's parents
01:18to help her rediscover who she was.
01:21Johannes was patient with Nesh and he built back her trust step by step.
01:25Through the process of Johannes nursing Nesh back to health,
01:28she fell in love with him all over again.
01:30One night a sound woke me up and I found him watching YouTube videos on how to braid hair
01:35so that he could help me feel pretty when I wasn't feeling well.
01:38So naturally, even in my brain state, I wanted to marry this guy.
01:42I don't have a rank.
01:43No, no, no.
01:44How are you married?
01:45I will marry you.
01:47You're the best person.
01:49I don't, I have a speech.
01:50I'll give you a speech later, okay?
01:52The speech is the best part and I don't have all.
01:55Obviously, at the time, I couldn't consent to anything, let alone a marriage proposal.
02:00Nesh got better and eventually, Johannes proposed to Nesh with a ring and a matching
02:05necklace for her daughter.
02:07She said yes.
02:08It was the easiest yes I've ever said.
02:10Nesh is sharing every step of her recovery journey on her TikTok account and she says,
02:14this whole journey has confirmed to me that this is someone I want to spend the rest of my life
02:19with.
02:20And she also says that she's learned to value her brain and her memories,
02:23and to spend as much of her life as she can making new memories.
02:27Sometimes real life is better than the movies.
