Vice President Inonge Wina has said the wedding of Suzyo Muzuri and Diniwe Bota who married last Saturday at University Teaching Hospital (UTH) G11 ward proves that true love conquers all odds.
Ms Wina was speaking this morning when she visited Suzyo at UTH where she congratulated the couple and donated a wheelchair.
“It is not easy to accept someone in this condition but your wedding here has shown all of us that true love really exists and that it can conquer all odds,” she said.Ms Wina encouraged the couple to be strong and be there for each other as they pass through this trying moment.
Last weekend, social media was abuzz after photos emerged of Suzyo and Diniwe exchanging vows at UTH G11 ward.Suzyo Muzuri and Diniwe Bowa exchanged marriage vows in the presence of their families, close friends and patients not by design but circumstances last Saturday.
Suzyo, 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.
“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.
Congrats guys, that’s real love not what we see from some women.
This is what we pay the Vice President for. Waste of tax payers money.
We understand her mandate is to oversee national disasters. Well here’s one for you -poverty.
We want to see her giving us updates on efforts being made by our economists to stabilize the kwacha and lower the cost of living.
I seriously fail to understand what the fuss is all about here….so if you are involved in an accident you cannot get married or exchange vows?
@ Jay Jay,
This is what happens in a country where both leaders and the led are just drifting to nowhere. They are even amazed by the rising of the sun. What a country!
Congratulations to the couple. God bless thy marriage.
This is true love. My prayer is that you will always look to God for all your answers. Many are the times when people forget God and what to solve problems by themselves. Problems or challenges will come in life BUT always remember your first love and seek the face of the Lord your God.
Since you have chosen not to see the physical challenge of your husband, NEVER in your life time no matter the circumstance must you see it. May God richly bless you and mightly use you. THANK YOU
May God bless their married in jesus name.And i hope she isnt gonna disapoint him.
Someone to remind Wina that there are artificial limps or prosethetic limps.
Moving indeed.
An example for us all to emulate.
only time will tell. unless you are not married. these women change. that was pity weeding. true love is yet to be seen from the woman.mark my words. you dont know why they could not wait untill out of hospital.may be the woman is in months pregnant.
people, a weedind is just an event,a public declaration. baptism does not make make you a christian. true love is only seen when two people begin to live together. a wedding is an event its not love. how she will treat him when there just the two of them days,months, years, that follows is what will tell if its true love or not. i repeat these wives of today change.
Whilst I congratulate the couple for the their public declaration of love, the sentiments expressed by many here implicitly betray the fact that people did not expect them to marry because of the disability following the accident.Therein lies my problem. Should ones love falter and die because of the injury.
Such a position says so much about how society views disability and marriage.The couple is in love and they married- full stop. When you bring in things like despite this and that you are diluting their position.
Preaching love in public is one thing, translating the same is another thing altogther and this is where I agree with you Mr. Fact. Soon the public glare will end and reality sets in but as outsiders, Iam sure the best we can do is wish them the best in their marriage.
Ka fact man ikalafye ka hater iwe. You are the poster child for the typical jealous Zambian
@Fact Man, so your wife pulled a fast one on you i guess..
mwebantu y do you owz rush for disapointments. women are different just like you men. all we should do is to kip on encouraging the new couple and give a thumb for the stance the young lady took.. pantu . God bless this couple its one in a million.
kuti nachi nyenga napa ma bele ichikashi chakwe. how will he catch me, ine ninshi nimbutuka, kaili nalikwata amolu yabili yonse. ena umu guyz takwete nomba!!!!
@Kolwe, sure niwe Kolwe that’s all can come in you low thinking mind. Iyo kwena you are so zambianized.
Kolwe never mock disability. That guy woke up on the fateful day of the accident not knowing how his day would end. You don’t know what tomorrow holds for you
Awe naumfwa mwandini. Ba editor futeni comment yandi, i think naya sana!!!!
Suppose it’s the girl who lost her leg would the guy have gone ahead to marry her.
I did not like her wedding dress. It exposed her boobs too much. And she looks older than the man despite her being younger by two years. By the time she has two children, she will be looking like his mother.
Hopelessness can be turned around, congratulations.
“I give to you as you gave to me – true love, true love. On and on it will always be, love forever true!!!.” . I cant stop the tears of joy from flowing. Congratulations, and may the good Lord bless you two abundantly.
God bless this couple…..for sure it’s a trying time for them. however, they have married. i will always remeber you in prayer.
VP you should have donated an artificial leg not a wheel chair.
I am challenged. O I can say is may God bless this married now and forever.
LT you dunder heads! Such a short story and you still manage to make mistakes. The lady’s surname has changed from Bota to Bowa and no one of you could notice that? What kind of school did you chaps attend? A short article and a very short name and you could not come up tops, shame on you lot! ATA!
