Victor, the groom, held his wife Oxana in his arms as they danced in the booth in the western city of Lviv. At the moment, a volunteer was registered at the hospital. The 23-year-old nurse from the eastern city of Lysychansk lost her legs on March 27 as she and Victor returned home “on a familiar path,” the Lviv Medical Association said. She turned to warn her husband of the danger, seconds before a mine exploded beneath her. She was not injured, but Oksana lost her legs and four toes on her left hand. “Life should not be postponed” Oxana underwent four surgeries before being transferred to Dnipro, where her wounds were healed and her limbs prepared for prosthetics. One week ago, the couple, who have two children, arrived in Lviv by evacuation train. “Life should not be postponed for later,” decided Oksana and Victor, who in six years together never found time for marriage, “the union said. They bought wedding rings in Lviv and found a white dress in Oxana, with a cake baked by volunteers. The wedding party took place in the operating room. Oxana is now preparing to travel to Germany with her husband for further treatment, the organization told Sky News. The couple is not the first couple to tie the knot in the middle of a war. In early March, a Ukrainian couple who had been together for 22 years decided to formalize their relationship by getting married on the defensive line near Kyiv.
