More than a year after an accident at her bachelorette party left Rachelle Friedman, 25, paralyzed, she made it down the aisle on July 22 and married fianc Chris Chapman, 28. Last May, Friedman and her bridesmaids were celebrating when Friedman's best friend playfully pushed the bride-to-be into a pool. Friedman's head struck the pool floor, injuring her spinal cord. Despite the tragedy, Friedman and Chapman remained upbeat about the future. "We're definitely built to last," Chapman said last November. "She was and is my best friend. I cannot wait to marry her."
Accused

Maryland pastor and Sovereign Grace Ministries leader C.J. Mahaney began a leave of absence June 30 after facing accusations including pride, deceit, and hypocrisy. "These charges (from former pastors and leaders in Sovereign Grace) are serious and they have been very grieving to read," said Mahaney, who plans to use the time away to receive counselling. The Sovereign Grace Ministries board said because the charges are also directed at the ministry, it will undergo review by an independent panel.
