Photos: Couple Weds on Hospital Bed at University Teaching Hospital

Against all odds yesterday in Lusaka Zambia, a young man who was two
weeks ago involved in a road accident and lost one leg wedded his
fiancée while on his hospital bed at the University Teaching Hospital.

Suzyo Muzuri 28 married Diniwe Bowa 27 yesterday morning at a
wedding service that was conducted by Bethel Christian Center Bishop
Andrew Mwenda in Ward 11 at UTH. The couple  exchanged marriage vows in
the presence of their families, close friends and patients not by design
but circumstances.

Mr Muzuri, an accountant at National Milling Company, wedded Ms Bowa
at UTH because he was involved in an accident that resulted in him
losing his right leg two weeks ago. Instead of
rescheduling
the wedding, the couple went ahead and tied the knot as their families
and friends witnessed the emotional ceremony, which brought the entire
ward to a stand-still.

Mother of the bride Loveness Bowa could not hide her happiness, Tumfweko.com reports.

“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.

True Love!
