Lion Air crash: Victim’s fiancée takes wedding photos alone (BBC)

An Indonesian woman whose fiancé was on a Lion Air flight which crashed into the sea has gone ahead with her wedding pictures alone.

Intan Syari and Rio Nanda Pratama were due to get married on 11 November.

But Mr. Pratama died as he was coming home for the wedding, when Lion Air flight JT 610 crashed on 29 October shortly after taking off from Jakarta.

Ms. Sayari said she wanted to fulfill his last wish, and posed for photos wearing her white gown and wedding ring.

“Even though I feel grief that I cannot describe, I still have to smile for you,” the young woman wrote on Instagram. “I cannot be sad but should be strong like you always told me to be.”

She said that before he’d left for the flight, Mr. Pratama had joked that should he not return in time she should take the pictures and send them to him. Read more
