A heartbroken couple who lost their partners in motorcycle accidents on the same road have tied the knot in a bizarre twist of fate.
Magali Lázara de Oliveira and Edgar Campos got married on Saturday (15 Jun) nearly six years after becoming a couple.
But their lives were entwined before they even met.

Magali, 41, and Edgar, 46, both lost their former partners in motorcycle accidents on the same stretch of road.
Magali was about to get married when her fiancé crashed and died on Avenida Brasil in Formiga, Brazil, in 2004.
Edgar went through the same pain when another accident on the same road claimed his fiancée in 2013.
The two later became a couple by chance, as reported on Need To Know.
Magali worked in a bank where Edgar was a customer and one of her roles was to send clients the documents they needed to pay their bills.
When Edgar lost his fiancée, Magali sent him her best wishes and told him that she had been through the same plight.
The spark came years later, in 2018, when she accidentally sent him a kiss-heart sticker and Edgar promptly replied.
Magali told local media: “From then on, we started talking, meeting, travelling and began dating. And now, finally, we are married.”
Edgar arrived at the outdoor celebration in Formiga by lorry, wearing a cowboy hat and boots.
A 102-year-old relative made the ceremony extra special by acting as the ring bearer.
Magali said: “A dream come true for sure. I feel blessed to be able to share life with such a wonderful, special person. God is perfect in everything.”
Edgar added: “I’m a fulfilled man by her side.”
