r45 4 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Vujicic was born with no limbs, a crippling disability that meant he had little hope of ever living a normal life. Tetra-amelia syndrome is a rare disorder characterised by the absence of both arms and legs. Vujicic was born to Serbian immigrants in Melbourne, Australia, but the couple now live in California. Now a best-selling author, as a child Vujicic suffered from depression as a child, but as he got older he eventually began to embrace his disability. The teen mastered life’s daily tasks and went on to show that he can do everything that able bodied people can do-including writing, typing, play drums, brush his teeth. Aged 17 he began giving talks at a church group and went on to found a non-profit to use his experience to help others. In 2005 Vujicic was nominated for the 'Young Australian of the Year' Award. But the preacher and author of 'Life Without Limbs' has now found true happiness - he last week got married. And today, the bestselling author and his beautiful new wife Kanae Miyahara, were seen having the time of their lives, as they began married life in Hawaii. The agile Vujicic had no difficulty taking using his camera to take photos of his stunning bride. The couple got engaged in August and married on February 10th in California.
