MANILA, Philippines – At the age of 67, a woman named Delfa married 57-year-old Dodot.
Delfa, who hasn't been in a relationship finally found herself an unprecedented love story when she still got married despite her age. She shared with Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) how she proved that it's never too late to find love.
Recalling her younger days, Delfa said she once had a suitor who she turned down. Time went by and she found herself settling to being alone.
“May nanligaw sa akin noon. Gusto niya nga raw akong pakasalan. Sabi ko, ‘Kung nagmamadali ka, maghanap ka ng ibang babae.’ Ayun, hanggang sa tumanda ako nang hindi nagkakaasawa," she said.
Delfa added that her father often told her his regret of not having grandchildren. She said, "Si Papa sinasabihan ako na ‘Kung nag-asawa ka, nagka-apo ka na sana. Sabi ko na lang na nakapagserbisyo naman ako sa aking mga magulang."
She was already contented with her life until someone special came into her life. Delfa said, "Nu’ng panahong iyon, kuntento na talaga ako. Hanggang may nagsabi sa akin na ‘Uy, Delfa, meron daw gustong bumisita sa’yo.’ May mga nagsasabi na hindi raw ba kami nahiya, kung kailan may edad na kami saka nagliligawan.”
Meanwhile, Dodot is a 57-year-old man who admitted he was very "pihikan" when it came to women. When he found Delfa, he found himself feeling young again. Smitten, Dodot courted Delfa and the two no longer wasted time and decided to get married.
He said, “May mga naging kasintahan ako pero sadya akong pihikan. Pero nagbago ‘yun nang makilala ko si Delfa. Parang bumalik ‘yung pagkabinata ko. Nagkagusto ako sa kanya. At kahit anong gawin ko, siya ang pumapasok sa isip ko. May mga nanunukso na kung kailan daw matanda na kami saka kami nagliligawan."
"Dalawang buwan akong nanligaw bago niya ako sinagot. Nagkasundo kami na kahit matanda na kami, gusto naming magpakasal," Dodot said.
Delfa and Dodot's love story inspired many to never give up on love, despite age and circumstances. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
