But when he got there he found tragic Maria Petrova, 21, climbing the railings after being thrown out by her parents for falling pregnant. She was seconds away from plunging more than 100 ft into the icy Belaya River when Andriej pulled her back from the brink. "Something in my heart snapped and I couldn't let her do it no matter how broken my own heart was.
"I shouted, 'Stop' and ran over to her. She fell into my arms sobbing and I began crying too. We held each other and talked, and talked and talked. That night saved my life - and hers," said Andriej. The couple talked into the night and agreed to help each other mend their broken hearts.
Now they plan to get married after telling their families of their amazing escapes from death. "He is my knight and my saviour," said Maria. "All that pain was worthwhile because it led me to my Andriej," she added.

Sounds like a fairy tale to me! I wish'em the best.
Exactly. I wish all the best as well.
and when they turn 90, they return to the bridge and jump, hand in hand, end of story.
Sounds like a fairytale end. I'd go for it like you describe it.
I still can't get over the British phrase "falling pregnant". I mean, think about it for a minute.
I know, it sounds like "falling ill".
