Loved-up Brit set to wed Ukrainian refugee after being single his whole life
A man who has been single his whole life is set to wed after falling in love with a Ukrainian refugee.
Guy Wilson met Karyna Kulyk while volunteering in his hometown.
The 34-year-old made her way to the UK to escape her war-ravaged country with her son Serafim, now seven.
Guy, 49 - who admits he lacked confidence and struggled to find the one of his whole life.

Karyna said: “When I came to the UK, I had my son and my suitcase.
“I had to leave everything else behind.”
Guy added: “When I watched the news, I was horrified.
“I never dreamt I would meet a Ukrainian and all of a sudden you fall in love with a person from this place.
“You never expect to meet someone from a war zone.”
In January last year, Guy met Karyna whilst volunteering at St Briavel’s Ukrainian Support Hub in the Forest of Dean.
He is a member of The Chepstow Rotary Club which supported the charit
