Yesterday, I mentioned a sword wielding man who attacked parishioners at a certain church here in Indonesia. Authorities report today, having interviewed the culprit, that he carried out this act as part of achieving his desire to marry an angel. Yes, you read that correctly.
Suliyono, by name, telephoned his family the day before the act, admitting that he wanted to marry an angel.
What is yet uncertain is 1) Whether angels are marriageable to begin with (they are, after all, not human and not generally noted to take part in human institutions of any kind, such as marriage, PTA activities, or what have you), 2) Whether violence and the threat of murder would necessarily be, for the angel, attractive in a prospective mate), and 3) Whether an angel would consider Suliyono's ramshackle residence a dwelling appropriate for heavenly beings.
For me, having had some experience with merely human wives, I would have to say that Suliyono was likely setting himself up for some keen disappointment, and it is probably best for all, angel included, that he was arrested and incarcerated before he was able to enter into matrimony.
