Every year I am surprised when I hear that something like this happens in a prison. Thank God that they were allowed to get married in SIZO-1, it must have meant a lot to them and the priest. Do you know how many couples have already been married there?

It's good they let them have the wedding right there in SIZO-1. Must have meant the world to that couple after everything. Ivana, I have no idea how many have been married there, but I hope it's more than we hear about.
