They either argued and discussed divorce or they didn't. Those are the facts and if they're not you should consider litigation.
And she knows her intentions prior to the fall. I would be interested to see her reply on here as to what caused her to fall. And if it's the quality or height of the wall I'll be surprised in the very least.

Doesn't matter if its 10cm, she either chose to climb it or didn't.

80cm is about right for a balcony rail isnt it???
Anyway, if you fanny about like that with no insurance on a honeymoon (what age is she??) then your just asking for trouble.
Glad you got your fare raised but I hope she maybe wises up a bit after all this!!

Why set up another charity when there already is one?
Because it's for tourist in Greece, there is a system for it now there but it goes through the goverment and doesn't all get where its meant to so this other woman who is Greek said she would help and run the charity.
And to give something back for all the kindness of others.
I don't know much about it.
That's the truth of it all.
Why would this new charity be any different?
If the newspapers have lied then sue them.

Wait, wow... She COULD have been treated out there but didn't want to be? I'm sorry but if that's the case spend the extra few fucking pounds and get insurance. That is absurd. Playing on the emotions of decent people.

Has Sunz admited she climbed the balcony? Or is everyone relying on the news papers?
From how he described the hospital I would want to get back ASAP!

Only just even seen this but ill weigh in with my 2p
surely the point of insurance when you go away to other countries is to true up the local health offering to that to whcih you are accustomed
ie., you go to greece, turkey, egypt etc you have to accept that the treatment there is not as good as in UK, germany, france, usa, (mainland) spain etc. hence 1 nurse to 8 rooms of 8 people and full of substance abusers and thereofre you are saying, by gettign insurance, that in the case of an accident you want british standard of healthcare
if you dont take insurance then you will of course be subjetc to local treatment
the whole e111 causes more harm than good imo, makes people lazy about it all

From what I can gather, they were bought the holiday for their honeymoon as a present from friends. They have just organised and carried out a wedding service, they will have had a million and one things on their minds. If they believed someone else was sorting out the honeymoon then it is up to the organisers of that to arrange their insurance for them. It is all part of the package.
I don't believe a word I read in tabloids tbh. They spout utter bullshit. They are not their to spread news, they are purely in business to make profit. and stories like they have told there sell papers.
If I was in your families position, I'd be wanting to bring her home too.
Hope she gets well soon.
and  to all the haters
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

That said, she does have to come home and arguments or not, that is the case. I just think we could have done with knowing more, ie. whether this was a genuine accident and whether Greek healthcare is appropriate given that is where she was at the time of the injury. I think if the best that you can come up with is that the beds have no curtains then really, she needs to put that one down to experience and get ill in England next time.
My impressions were that the Greek hospital would be unable to offer her the best care. When in fact you have some claims about the place being full of substance abusers, in there because they've brought injury on themselves. With respect, she is in good company.
She had broken her back in 2 places and fractured it in 2 other places, she was and is very close to being paralyzed but in Greece they didnt give her any supports what so ever, she was free to move about and they even made her sit up to eat, this continued throughout the week she was there.
Rather then moving her on to another bed to try and change the bed sheet they just tried to rip them out from underneath her or roll her on to her side, this is of course not the kind of care someone with a dangerous injury should should recieve and obviously it was totally dangerous.
The same woman who wants to run this charity sent in private nurses to help my sister as the hospital staff are almost incompetent by the standards of a English hospital from what my sister has told me.
Finally as said again, orignally she wanted to come home so the family got together and said look we cant afford to do this in such short notice, then they said she could get the operation done there with the eu insurance (nshs)and then she went for more scans and the fractures 3 days later are magically breaks and they say at the hospital they want her to fly back home and do not want to do the operation.
Just have to wait and see what she says because I can only tell you what her and her boyfriend have told me.
Thanks Ste W, pretty much it really, a wedding is a mighty stressful thing to, they only had 2 weeks before they were due to both go back to work after there wedding so we didnt have much time to get it all planned
The papers sent flowers to say sorry for publishing the article, can't work that out to be honest, 2 faced naps.

i'm ashamed to say that i think i would like my money back, i know i can't have it back as it was a donation but still. I only donated a tenner but thats not the point. I was skint at the time as i hadn't been paid and i can't help feeling like i've been mislead. don't get me wrong, i'm not one of them people who is blinkered and thinks that everyone is an angel. i've done the drunken climbing of a balcony in my youth too. that article may be full of crap, it may be pretty accurate. but i dont think i would have donated if i had read it first. i'm not going to dwell on it though, she's still a human who i hope recovers and my donation has helped a little.
