“I was playing co-ed slow-pitch softball, playing second base, when a ground ball took a bad hop and hit me on the head,” the bride, 36, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“It knocked me out, and I had to go to the ER. This happened on Monday evening, and my wedding was just five days away, on Saturday!”
“The first thing I thought was, ‘My wedding is in five days!’ ” she continues, recalling how she was sobbing at the time.

Following the unfortunate incident, Taylor Imus visited a health facility where she can receive an MRI and later, they referred her to a concussion specialist.
According Taylor, among the symptoms she battled was headaches and indiscriminate bruising all over her body.
After her meeting at the concussion clinic, Imus followed up with a consultation with her primary care doctor who referred her to a neurologist.
“My husband supported me through it all, working while I had to be off work for a month,” she says, adding how for the first two days after the injury happened, she was devastated.
“But then I was in good spirits,” she continues. “My family, friends, coworkers were all hyping me up, making me feel beautiful. I never thought to postpone, I was just positive my bruising would go down in five days. It in fact did not.”
Gearing up for the wedding, Imus revealed how she booked an airbrush makeup artist to take care of her glam.
She reckoned that the job at hand was very tough but the makeup artist did a good job and that got her followers on TikTok marveled.
“It in fact was her hardest job, but she nailed it,” Imus, part owner of a breakfast restaurant in Richland, Mich., says. “I was absolutely insecure about my face, but I believe I rocked it and I got lots of love and support from friends and family.”
