Magali Jaskiewicz and her boyfriend Jonathan George were planning on having their dream fall wedding but an unfortunate event occurred two days before the fateful date. Jonathan passed away in a motorcycle accident leaving his girlfriend with a broken heart. However, the unfortunate event couldn’t bring down Magali’s spirit and she still wanted to marry Jonathan. She found that the French authorities allowed posthumous marriages and she set off to France in order to legalize her marriage to her dead boyfriend. Magali proved that they had been living together, had a joint bank account and had already set the wedding date.
The strange wedding that took place exactly a year after Jonathan’s death was 100% legal and about 30 friends and family members attended the bizarre event.

Did You Know That Not A Single Titanic Engineer Survived The Shipwreck Because ….

One of the most underestimated and nearly forgotten heroic feats in history is the one of the engineers of the RMS Titanic during its tragic demise in 1912. The brave men in the engine and boiler rooms stayed at their posts working tirelessly while everyone else was running for the lifeboats to save their own lives.

When the Titanic hit the iceberg, it quickly became quite easy to comprehend the hard truth that the ship’s “unsinkable” image was nonsense. The ship would have sank in a little more than an hour if it weren’t for the actions of the brave beyond imaginationengineers. While the ship was sinking all the passengers were being evacuated via lifeboats by the crew on the deck. The engineers then stayed on their posts during the evacuation and enabled the rest of the crew to continue saving lives. They kept the pumps and the electricity running for as long as possible. Their actions ensured the lights and radio systems were operating until the very last minute.
Some speculate that their actions kept the Titanic afloat for an extra hour which enabled the deployment of nearly all the lifeboats. Their brave sacrifice resulted in the successful rescue of nearly 700 passengers who lived through the disastrous events.

The finger still had the wedding ring on it. When the man was questioned about his actions that day he responded that this was the only way he could break free from the marital bond and leave the whole bad experience behind him. The man said the missing finger wouldn’t hinder his ability to work and he did not plan to have it reattached. He pledged never to marry in his life again.
However, he did not get punished for the self-mutilation but he received a $500 fine for throwing his wife on the floor during a domestic dispute.
