Less than three months before Meg Alexander and Brett Greenhill's wedding, the Atlanta couple's family and friends are asking for help through GoFundMe after a horrific accident left the groom-to-be paralyzed.

The pair were in Naples, Florida, on Dec. 3 celebrating a joint bachelor/bachelorette party when members of the bridal party spotted Greenhill floating in the water.

Though they found him conscious, he was unable to move, according to a post on GoFundMe.

"It went from an incredible weekend to devastating," Kelsi Rice, a nurse and one of Alexander's best friends, told People Magazine.

Greenhill was air-lifted to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, where doctors told the couple that he was paralyzed from the neck down after possibly hitting his head on a sandbar.

According to their GoFundMe page, appropriately named "Go Greenhill," the groom-to-be will begin rehabilitation at Atlanta's Shepherd Center. To help with medical costs and transportation, the couple and their loved ones have been asking for donations. So far, they've raised more than $86,000. 

"Our entire world has taken a very different turn than we thought," Alexander told People. But the support has been amazing to see, she said.
