Love is blind. Love does not know tribes, races, religions and even countries. When two lovebirds are in love, there is always a way to unite them. That sentence is right to describe the story of Asep Probo Egiana (29) a young man from Gumiwang Village, Purwanegara District, Banjarnegara, Central Java. On Thursday (08/16/2018), Asep, who works as a fish farmer, is officially marrying a beautiful Czech girl, Pavla Travnickova (25).
The marriage of a different country pair was carried out using Javanese customs at the residence of Asep's parents.
Pavla, who is an environmental activist, looked elegant in white kebaya.
This pair of lovebirds looks so harmonious.
They joked with each other, even though Asep still stammered in communicating with his wife using English.
Asep revealed, his first meeting with Pavla took place around 2017.
He knew Pavla through his friend who was an environmental activist.
"At that time Pavla helped the Gumiwang Village youth to map fish tours that were being pioneered," he said.
Although initially not fluent in English, the communication between the two continued smoothly.
In fact, Asep admitted that he often relied on translator applications in his device, or when he felt deadlocked, he only used body language.
Asep set a heart to marry Pavla when the slender girl revealed love to Asep.
Asep also expressed his sincere intention to Pavla's family while visiting Indonesia some time ago.
"The family has known each other and agreed, Pavla also thank God that now he has converted," he said.
After officially becoming a husband and wife, Asep and Pavla planned to settle in Gumiwang Village.
They will undergo days as koi and tilapia farmers.
"Stay here (Gumiwang Village), but there are plans to visit Pavla (Czech)'s house," he said.
Meanwhile, the bride, Pavla did not comment much on her marriage.
For him, marriage between countries is a natural thing.
They love each other and have done all kinds of processions in accordance with the applicable law.
