The bride decided to say yes again to her groom after their involvement in a fatal accident and that happened 4 days to their wedding

No, she's not dead...just seriously injured. Miriam
Gakenia,31, and her fiance James Mwangi, 27,
had gone to buy wedding items but were injured
in a road accident at Kiangwachi area along
Nyeri-Nairobi highway on Tuesday, December 15.
Their wedding was to take place at Dominion
Towers Deliverance Church today, Saturday
December 19.
Gakenia suffered a right hip joint injury and a
broken right arm while Mwangi's right hand was
injured. He had been treated and discharged but
she could neither sit nor stand. The couple
exchanged their vows at Outspan hospital today,
with nurses as her bridesmaids.
"The wedding had to go on. We had prepared
for six months. The devil was not going to get in
the way. She would have become my wife even if
she had lost her legs," Mwangi explained.
Gakenia said from her hospital bed: "I informed
my doctor of the wedding and told him we were
not ready to postpone it."
She said the hospital agreed to hold the wedding
on its grounds. Nurses and matron Jane Wamucii
escorted her to the location on her bed.
Gakenia and Mwangi had difficulties putting on
their wedding rings as their hands were in casts
but they exchanged their vows in what Reverend
Stephen Mungai described as "a first in Nyeri".
It was also difficult for them to sign their
marriage certificate and to share their wedding
cake, but these paled in comparison to the
exchange of vows at the emotional ceremony.
"I have never conducted such a wedding. It
shows far love can go. It is a lesson in sticking
with your vision regardless of hurdles, and
eventually reaching your destination," the reverend
said.
The couple did not have a photo shoot after the
wedding but was taken to a private room at the
hospital where Mwangi sat by Gakenia's bed for
hours.
Gakenia, a system administrator at Dedan Kimathi
University of Technology, will remain at thevhospital for six weeks.
