Sinjai, Beritabulukumba.com – The unexpected love story between a young man from Sinjai Regency, South Sulawesi, named Randi Guntur (39), and a beautiful girl from Poland, Weronika Kuras (38), has touched the hearts of many.
Their wedding, held in Dusun Laiya, Tompobulu Village, Bulupoddo District, Sinjai Regency, on Thursday (20/7), was a moment filled with emotions and happiness.
This intercontinental love story even became a topic of discussion in local and national media.
Weronika Kuras, who embraced Islam following her husband, officially converted to Islam at Al Markaz Al Islami Jenderal M Yusuf Mosque in Makassar in July 2022. At the same time, they also had an Islamic wedding ceremony in Makassar.
Her journey to embracing Islam showed her commitment and determination to build a harmonious relationship with her future husband, Randi Guntur.
Randi and Weronika’s love story began when they first met on the beautiful island of Bali, a famous tourist destination in Indonesia.
Randi, a young man from Sinjai, had been living in Bali since 2007 and worked as a tour guide before starting his travel business in 2013.
Their shared passion for the travel industry brought Randi and Weronika together. Before deciding to take their relationship to the next level, they even worked together in the travel business.
This closeness sparked feelings of love between them in 2019.
However, the path to marriage was not easy for Randi. As a young man from a different cultural background, he had to struggle and patiently wait for four years to propose to his beloved.
This challenge involved every aspect of their lives, from language and culture to different social norms between their families.
But true love knows no boundaries or obstacles. Randi and Weronika decided to fight for their relationship.
Although Weronika was a foreigner living in a different country, she patiently learned about Indonesian culture and traditions, especially in Sinjai Regency.
In the process, she grew closer to Randi’s family.
In the end, Randi’s perseverance and sincerity in proving his commitment paid off. Randi and Weronika were finally united in holy matrimony on Thursday (20/7) in Dusun Laiya, Tompobulu Village, Sinjai Regency.
The wedding venue was about 30 kilometers from the center of Sinjai Regency.
The joyous wedding reception was attended by 27 of Weronika’s family members who came all the way from Poland.
Their presence signified support and approval from Weronika’s family for the marriage.
This heartwarming and affectionate moment served as proof that love can unite hearts from different corners of the world, regardless of the vast cultural and language differences that may separate them.
The marriage of Randi Guntur and Weronika Kuras is not just an ordinary love story; it is a reflection of strong determination and commitment.
Their relationship is evidence that true love knows no bounds, including geographical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries.
This inspirational story serves as an example for many to always follow their hearts and respect differences in true love.***
