THE wreckage of the Syrian city of Homs have become the
bittersweet backdrop for a young couple’s wedding photographs.
Nada Merhi, 18, wore a conventional white gown when she
married camouflage-clad Hassan Youssef, 27, on Friday.
Youssef is a soldier in Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s
military, which took Homs from rebels in November.
the marriage occurred as Assad’s forces closed in on another
revolt stronghold to the north, Aleppo, Syria’s 2d-biggest city.
The advancing authorities armies and intense Russian air
strikes sent a new flood of Syrian refugees — as many as 70,000 — speeding to
the Turkish border.
