Fate ended the lives of two Egyptian newlyweds before their wedding; this was due to a heart attack and a sudden health crisis that struck each of them in separate but simultaneous incidents within the same governorate. Just as the clock struck noon on the past Sunday, while silence reigned in the village of Bani Mansour, belonging to the center and city of Awlad Saqr in Sharqia Governorate, the voice of a woman rose from her home as if her heart had shattered in fear of losing her only son to his four sisters; she found him in a state of severe illness, unable to move or speak, while his friends were preparing to accompany him to his henna night celebration preceding the wedding.
Everyone rushed to help the mother, and her son, 25-year-old groom Mohammed Metwally Ali Abd Al-Fattah, who worked as a baker in the village, was taken to the central hospital, where it was determined that his condition was critical, necessitating his transfer to Al-Ahrar Educational Hospital in Zagazig city. He passed away upon arrival at the latter hospital due to a heart attack, just hours before his henna night and wedding to his bride in their village. Instead of being ushered into his marital home, his body was taken for burial in the cemetery of Bani Mansour.
Only a few hours separated the death of the groom from the news of the death of the bride, who also succumbed to the same cause; the girl, Mona Abd Al-Salam, a third-year industrial secondary school student, died from a heart attack. This was followed by the cries of everyone mourning her, as her passing was associated with her engagement a few weeks prior and just before her wedding and wearing the bridal gown in the village of Al-Didamoon, also in Sharqia Governorate. Eyewitnesses and neighbors of the deceased girl confirmed to "Cairo 24" that she had been engaged in a joyful ceremony held in one of the wedding halls in the vicinity of Faqous for four weeks, but just two weeks before her death, the girl fell into a sudden state of illness that persisted until she passed away hours earlier due to a heart attack.
Thousands of residents from Al-Didamoon and neighboring villages, along with the student's classmates, attended her funeral to her family's graves in the village, while one neighbor confirmed that she uttered the two testimonies of faith before her death.
