If it had not been for the bravery of her fiancé, Saera Wilson may have been one of the more than 70 victims of an attack on a hotel in Tunisia.
As the Daily Mail reports, 37 people were killed and 36 wounded when extremists attacked a resort area in Sousse, opening fire at a beach near the Bellevue Hotel.
Wilson was on vacation with her fiancé, Matthew James, and the two were sunbathing when the shooting began.
Wilson says that James put his body between her and the gunmen, shielding her from harm while taking three bullets in the stomach. Even while injured and bleeding, James told Wilson to run for it.
“He told me: ‘I love you babe. But just go – tell our children that their daddy loves them,’” Wilson said.
Wilson and James have two children, six-year-old, Tegan, and 14-month-old, Kaden, whom they had left with family in Wales during their break in Tunisia.

They have two children and plan to get married in 2017. Why not celebrate their lucky escape by moving the wedding date to 2015?
Some men understand their duty when something as horrific as this happens.
But not when they have babies.
Saddest part of this story is them not being married.
He is still alive.
I agree. Our culture is in the tank when the desire for a fancy wedding, a big, party, a house full of furniture, a couple of cars, a vacation, etc. takes precedence over the safety and security of your children.
Indeed!
He was very brave.
Read the article. He IS still alive. Also, your comment about them being married is one of the most retarded I’ve seen recently on the Internet—congratulations!
I agree!!!!
Thank God BOTH of them are alive!!!!
I hope that was sarcasm I didn’t pick up on
I get that folks think they are helpless in these situations. This guy just “took it” so his fiancée could live. But what if just two able-bodied people just started doing something back?
Throw rocks, bottles, cans of soda, radios—anything. If only to make getting away a little easier.
Nobody wants a bullet to the face, I know. But...we are so conditioned to just give in and suffer for it. Situations like these are civilized individuals’ one big excuse to chimpanzee-crazy against a bad-guy!
would seem to me it would have been better had they married first before having children
It's what GOD WANTS!!! Where the HELL did you grow up?? You must be a MILLENIAL.
Great....but will he marry the MOTHER of his TWO CHILDREN??? OMG!! What has happened to COMMON SENSE and COMMON DECENCY????
I agree with you.
Wow. Over-react much?
I don’t disagree with your marriage suggestion, I disagree with your suggestion that these vacationers were attacked because they were unmarried. That’s retarded.
