And that's how it was, I came and I married Mario. But there were lots of boys asking to marry me but my stepfather didn't want me to get married because I had to help him. Then when I turned 23, I said,`Ah-ah. I'm getting old, I'm not going to find anybody to marry me' and things like that. Then I talked with Mario. He said to me, `Yes.'
