A couple had chained themselves together in February for a period of three months to test the strength of their relationship. Turns out, they have no plans to cut the chain until they get married.
Viktoria Pustovitova, 28, and Alexander Kudlay, 33, from Kharkiv in Ukraine, have confessed to feeling "fed up" with each other. However, they have now decided to remain chained until their wedding. But the catch here is that there is no wedding date as of now. In fact, the couple is not even engaged yet.

The chain is welded and the couple would require emergency services to cut it open and separate them.?
The duo has specially customised clothing that has zips from top to bottom which allows them to dress and undress. However, using public toilets is a problem as people are not comfortable when Viktoria takes Alexander to the ladies' washroom.?
Alexander works as a car salesman with his girlfriend by his side. However, Viktoria's work as an artificial eyelash creator has been a setback since clients are not comfortable with her being so close to her partner.

The couple began the unusual experiment to test their love on Valentine's Day, after going through an on-off period of their relationship.
"We used to break up once or twice a week. When during another fight Vika once again said that we had to break up, I replied, ¡®Then I will attach you to myself,'" Alexander had earlier said.
They have set both Ukrainian and world records for the most time spent chained together as a couple. Now, they have plans to on a reality show together and want to?sell their chain for $3 million (Rs 21.94 crore) at an international auction.
"We want to donate $2m to charity and are currently negotiating. We will leave $1m for our personal use. We will buy apartments for ourselves and for our relatives. We do not have our own housing," Viktoria was quoted as saying by?LADbible.
Viktoria added, "We are a bit fed up with each other. It is complicated for me. I was nervous, am nervous and, probably, will continue to be nervous. Yes, I had flashes where I wanted to remove the chain, and jerked it. But then time passed, I calmed down," she said.
Alexander added, "We are getting a little tired of all this. We get weary of each other. 24/7 together - one of us wants to be here, the other there."
How bizarre.
