28-year-old man falls in love with the voice of 82-year-old woman who rang him by mistake, got married to her
Dandel, a 28-year-old garage mechanic in Indonesia, fell in love with Martha Potu's voice so much that he decided to meet her in person. But when he reached Potu's house, he could not believe the person who answered the door - an 82-year-old widow - was the woman he'd fallen in love with.
In contrast to the damsel with flawless skin he dreamed of, Potu is an elderly woman 54 years his senior. While Dandel was shocked at Potu's appearance because she hadn't disclosed her age over the phone, he had already expressed his love to her and his feelings remained unchanged. The two chatted for hours and Dandel learned that Potu had been living a lonely life after her husband died ten years ago and her two children left the country to work abroad. Moved by her story, Dandel, who had never dated before, promised to stay with her forever.
The road to their marriage was rocky, however. Due Indonesia being a conservative society, there were some strong opposition from their families to their relationship. Eventually, the lovers eventually won over their families with their determination and loyalty for each other. On February 18 this year, they exchanged wedding vows in presence of their family and loved ones in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
