AN Indonesian woman married the love of her life, surrounded by her family, including her dead father’s remains.

The unusual wedding between Tarisa and Edi – both of whom go by only one name like many Indonesians – took place at the bride’s house in Kolaka Regency in south-east Sulawesi on Sunday, reported Indonesian media.
