High school sweethearts Jeremy and Justice Stamper tied the knot for a second time, a year after their first wedding, to remind the bride what the occasion was like.

Justice Stamper lost her memory and suffered speech problems following a car accident just 19 days after she first married Jeremy last year.

"There was all these wedding pictures all around. It was me and Jeremy and all this paperwork that said, 'Justice Stamper.' And I was like, 'What is goin' on?'" Ms Stamper told TODAY.

"I was absolutely heartbroken. I was sick to my stomach," Jeremy said.

"I don't know why I said it, but instantly I said, 'Don't worry about it. We'll do it again.'"

The young Tennessee couple met in kindergarten. They renewed their vows at Hungry State Park in Virginia last Saturday with the same sunflower theme as their first wedding.

However, Justice wore a new wedding gown and had her hair and makeup done thanks to nearly US$10,000 in donations via a GoFundMe page her husband set up.

"I picked up the phone and, in about 10 minutes, I had the entire wedding, just about everything donated," he told TODAY.
