A woman whose arm was torn off by a crocodile wasn’t going to let a lost limb get in the way of her wedding -- and she managed to walk down the aisle just days after the gruesome attack.

Zanele Ndlovu, a former national tennis player, got married to Jamie Fox on Sunday at Mater Dei Hospital in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, where she’s recovering from the crocodile attack, The Sun reported.

Hardcore Award ... I suppose so, but perhaps also a Darwin Award, as that location in Zimbabwe is known to have lots of crocs swimming around, and has been the site of many other attacks, so who in their right mind goes out there in a plastic canoe?

People are nuts...”

“Victoria Falls canoeing above the Falls on the upper Zambezi is the perfect activity for those who not only want to see the abundant bird and animal life but also want to experience the peace, tranquillity and beauty of the Zambezi River. The river is a kilometre wide and in places a bit more. It has an indescribable beauty with crystal clear waters and a myriad of islands and channels to explore.”

Dunno how a White fella survived in Zimbabwe this long, but may God bless and keep their marriage and make sure that they become one flesh! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Forearmed is forewarned? Or vice versa?

A tasty lunch will be served either by the river's edge or on an island

Apparently the croc read the promotional materials and signed up to take the tour.

The question really is, whose idea was it? I wonder if it was his.

Well, I guess God - or Nature, if you wish - gives everyone the choice of looking on the bright side of things or on the dark side.

Don’t really think if matters much if it was his idea ... if my wife suggests moving to some dangerous area (Chicago, Ferguson, Baltimore, etc) because housing is cheaper, then I’m just as stupid for going along with that, even if it was her idea,
