Love is blind. No matter how many times we hear this, it will not wear off. Because when your heart falls in love, it won't care for who, as long as it is happy and can fulfill the love that it feels.
This holds true with 23-year-old Phatsara Obnak from Thailand who proved that true love knows no bounds. She just recently tied the knot with 37-year-old Boonmee Khanthong who has facial deformities.
Boonmee revealed to Thai News Agency that he had suffered from broken capillaries on his face when he was young. As a result, he has an enlarged lower lip and was only able to finish Grade 5. He and his family has been to Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok several times already trying to get treatment for his condition. But because they don't have enough funds to pay for lodging while having the treatment, he was never able to finish the treatment
Because of his condition, he has a hard time talking and looking for jobs. Good thing his friend Virat Saothong, 35 who is a contractor in Bangkok gave him a job.
Phatsara has a daughter from her first marriage but Boonmee accepts her and he loves both girls so much. The two had a very simple wedding ceremony in his village in northeastern Surin province, Thailand.
Their story is beautiful indeed. It just goes to show how unconditional love can be, and how two people from different paths of life can create a beautiful love story.
