"That's just what we do every day, and it was family."

She was walking on the side of the road with her skirts gathered in her hands in a light rain as her mother took a photograph of her with the ambulance and a firetruck behind her.

"She's giving me that look, like 'Really? You're going to take my picture now?' said Ray's mother, Marcy Martin. "It was just about the contrast — the beauty of her and then the chaos in the background."

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Sarah Ray's wedding day took a very unexpected turn after her grandmother's car collided with another on the way to the reception.

Ray rushed to the scene, hiked up her wedding dress and climbed aboard the ambulance to see what she could do.

She can't understand what all the fuss is about.

"I just hate that everyone uses the word 'hero,' " she said Monday. "It's not heroic. That's just what we do every day, and it was family. I believe any other first responder would do the same thing. It just happened that I was in a wedding dress."
