It had been a day she dreamed of ever since she was a little girl, yet just hours after her wedding day was over Florida woman Amanda Karth's memories of her first dance, cutting the cake, and exchanging her vows were lost forever.
'I don't remember the wedding day at all,' she said.
So now ten months later family and friends have gathered to recreate the ceremony and reception so Amanda will have memories to carry forever.
The first time twenty-seven-year-old Amanda and husband Cody Karth tied the knot, everything went perfectly.
'It was fabulous,' Cody told Inside Edition. 'It was everything you could ever want in a wedding and it was the best day of my life.'
The day was a dream, but on their first night as man and wife tragedy struck.

The first time twenty-seven-year-old Amanda and husband Cody Karth tied the knot, everything went perfectly.
'It was fabulous,' Cody told Inside Edition. 'It was everything you could ever want in a wedding and it was the best day of my life.'
The day was a dream, but on their first night as man and wife tragedy struck.
Just before sunrise, Cody says he woke up to see his new wife struggling to breath.
'I just grabbed her, 'What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?'' he remembered.
Amanda passed out on the bed, and Cody wasted no time calling 911. As he waited for help, he moved her body to the floor and administered CPR praying to keep her alive.
But when the paramedics arrived, they couldn't find a pulse. Amanda was shocked back to life and sped to the hospital.
Doctors later discovered Amanda had suffered from a rare phenomena known as 'Broken Heat Syndrome,' in which the heart becomes dysfunctional.
She remained unconscious for four days.
'I just didn't know what to say,' said Dr. Adam Frank of NCH Heart Institute in Naples, Florida. 'I don't know what to offer these people and what kind of outcome they're going to see. And literally the next day I walked in to start rounds Amanda was sitting up.'
Amanda had achieved a miraculous recovery but couldn't remember a single moment of her wedding day.
After hearing Amanda's story, Inside Edition invited Amana and Cody's friends, family, and even the paramedics who shocked her back to life to the West Bay Club for a redo of the young bride's special day.
Cody may have had a sense of deja vu when his wife smeared wedding cake across his face, but for Amanda it was brand new, and this time a memory she could keep forever.
