| Ukrainian woman weds Chicago fiancé ahead of return home |
| 2022-03-06 |
| CHICAGO (AP) — When Russia invaded her home country of Ukraine, Maria decided she had to get there and help defend it — even if it meant leaving her fiancé behind in Chicago days after getting married. Maria and her fiancé, David, married Saturday before about 20 people in the backyard of an Oak Park home — the venue offered last minute after Maria asked for advice in a neighborhood Facebook group. The couple met last year and got engaged in October. On Monday, she plans to fly to Poland, then make her way to the Ukrainian border, ultimately aiming to volunteer to fight for her home country. |

| #2 How long till Maria confesses? "Those typically Aryan tresses!" "Like all their recruits, She possesses dark roots!" "And 'Odesa' she spells with two 'S's!" |
