Surya Manurung is 29 years old and was born with Treacher Collins syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects the development of the face before birth. Almost his entire family lives with a similar condition. That made them famous on TikTok.
On Friday, September 23, 2022, Surya got married. The ceremony was simple. He wore pink, matching the bride.
Her name is Shasa Puspita Dewi, and she is 19 years old. When she shared her age on Instagram, many were left speechless: a ten-year age difference. She is the eldest child in her family. He is the third child in his.
The video of the ceremony was shared on the Manurung family’s YouTube channel and spread across TikTok. Many celebrated. Others asked why she had accepted. Nobody knows.
Surya did say something. He thanked God for bringing him together with a woman “pious and faithful”: devout and faithful.
Three days later, Shasa uploaded a video. The two of them were dragging suitcases toward Jakarta. She wrote that he was taking her on a trip.
There was no speech. There were two suitcases and a trip.
Some people look at a face. And some look at the person who wears it.
