A
Lusaka based young man who was two weeks ago involved in a road
accident and lost one leg before his wedding, today managed to marry his
fiancé in his hospital bed at the University Teaching Hospital against
all odds.
The couple exchanged marriage vows in the presence of their
families, close friends and patients not by design but circumstances.
“This is an emotional time for the family because instead of the
accident breaking the couple, it has remained strong and has refused to
be defeated. I am very proud of my daughter and my son-in-law.
“Theirs is a love story that will stand the test of time,” Mrs Bowa said.
She said instead of listening to concerns from the family after the
accident, her daughter remained committed to marrying her husband no
matter his physical condition.
And Bethel City Church bishop Andrew Mwenda said the marriage signified sacrifice, loyalty and commitment.
“This wedding expresses genuine commitment to one another. My message to
the couple is to remain committed even when it seems impossible.
“Commitment is important. Even when the young man was involved in an accident, she remained by his side,” he said.
