Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jersey and Amanda gem Nation. We all love a romantic story.
We love a story of someone who locks eyes with
someone and goes, you know what, they're my person. This
is a story from a town in Sapaolo in Brazil.
This woman who name is Danielle, she's thirty three. She
(00:22):
went to a funeral of one of her relatives. In
that small town, most people know each other. While she
was at the funeral, she locked eyes or he didn't
lock eyes back with her, but she went for look
at the guy conducting the service. She thought he was gorgeous. Right,
So for the next two years straight, she went once
(00:45):
a month to a funeral service, thinking she'd get him
to notice her. He probably thought she was like Jessica
Fletcher and had killed everybody because he think, why is
she here again? Well, it because, weirdly, he didn't even
notice that she was there. So this guy, his name
is Apollo, who's working as the funeral director and doing
the service, and he was focused and professional, unaware that
(01:06):
he was being watched from the pews. She has said,
I don't even like funerals. I used to think I'll
give the family a hug and then I'll go, But
now I've hung around so I can get to see
him who actually likes funerals. Oh yeah, I'm in. So
she made a sneaky habit of attending services every few months,
holding out hope for a glimpse of spark, a moment
of connection, and no one questioned her. A friends and
(01:29):
family who turned up to these things alongside didn't question her.
He apparently had no idea, she said, only told him later,
when we'd started finally talking, that I'd been doing this,
and he said, how did I not notice you before?
He was always so focused on work. Eventually, her persistence
paid off. The two began dating earlier this month. They
tied the knot, and she turned up at the wedding
(01:51):
in a hearse in a hearse with some nice streamers
off the back, with his company branded down the side
and that, but she had a banner on the back
and said till death do us part. Yeah. I think
she's in it for other things, drama, in it for
the drama. But one of those people are into death.
(02:11):
But also they are some people are into it. If
you are in a relatively small town, why don't you
ask someone if they know him and find out where
he goes to drink, to eat. Where he hangs out
doesn't always have to be his place of wood. To
turn up with your face prisons as the glass. It's
hardly Romeo and Juliet, is it? You remember Romeo and Jewels?
(02:32):
The things. She's up on the balcony and Ryan, we've
got something there, We've got some Romean. It is my lady, Oh,
it is my love. There he is in the bushes, creep. No,
hang on that she knew she she speaks, She speaks,
She doesn't spend. Yeah, she says nothing. What of that
(02:57):
her discourses? I will answer it? How much of un play?
Brendan scoots a bit? That's how fast Shakespeare sh is
be use the crib notes. Oh, and then she speaks.
She speaks, Okay, good on you. You need for the pandemic.
(03:21):
She's not going to stop now, mate, when she starts, no,
you don't want that, mate. Sometimes though, we look back
on this stuff and we think, isn't it charming that
someone sleeps under your balcony for three weeks? And now
we well, we look at the old movies. We think
that's kind of inappropriate. If a girl says no, she
means no. But sometimes it takes a while to woo someone,
(03:42):
maybe two years or three years of going to funerals
just to pervet the guy who's hosting the service.
