[AMP-L] Double-amputee War Victim’s Wedding Heartens Ukraine {Video]

[Wayne Renardson]

via Los Angeles Times:

In the video´s opening frame, the first glimpse of them, it could almost 
be any bride and groom. Any wedding dance, if a wartime one.  

The setting is a hospital ward. The bride wears a garland of 
pink-and-white blossoms and a short white dress with spaghetti straps 
and a flaring skirt. The groom, his dark hair cropped close, is in a blue 
T-shirt and dark trousers.  

In the first, partial view of the two of them entwined, beginning their 
slow dance, it is not immediately obvious that she has no legs. Then, as 
they move fully into the frame, it becomes suddenly, shockingly clear 
that he is holding his new wife up entirely, cradling her as the white  
dress swirls around emptiness.
