Daro,Sarawak,Malaysia; Sunday:-
Residents of this hamlet known as Daro can hardly believe their ears. Love really knows no bound and it is blind too.
A wheelbound bachelor by the name of Ibrahim and a three times divorcee known as Ramlah yest erday tied the knot at the village of Tian. It was their mobile that brought them together and closer. So close that they decided to give marriage a try.I dare say that our Short Messaging Service here really bites.
The bride hailed from the state of Negri Sembilan in Peninsular Malaysia. The groom from the state of Sarawak on the Island of Borneo. Despite fierce opposition from his family, Ibrahim, who is crippled since birth, waived them aside and proposed. Although being non-committal at first, perhaps due to the failure of her three previous marriage, emboldened herself and went to meet her future husband. Being a bit of a gentleman himself, Ibrahim gave Ramlah several days to rethink about the proposal.
This time Cupid’s Arrows hit both of them straight on the Bull’s Eye. Ibrahim’s many friends and relatives chipped in to help with the ceremony. Being wheelchair-bound Ibrahim doesn’t earn much. It was a noisy and colourful ceremony.
