Alzheimer's made Peter forget he was married. Then he fell in love with his wife all over again

One Saturday evening last December, as Peter and Lisa Marshall cuddled on the couch watching their favourite TV show, Peter looked at Lisa and asked if she would marry him.

What Peter, 56, didn’t remember was that they were already married.

Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s three years ago, Peter had begun losing his memories - even those of his fairytale romance.
