After just six weeks of correspondence, a real estate agent who was feeling lonely over the holiday season decided to marry a prisoner.
A visa problem left 27-year-old Laura Gehrke alone in Dubai for Christmas. She discovered 21-year-old Joshua Stewart on a website that allows you to write in to a prisoner.
After seeing a video on writing to inmates, she decided to use the website to wish someone a Merry Christmas; Stewart’s profile drew her attention.
After barely six weeks of dating, he proposed to her using a website that allows you to write to convicts. (Kennedy News and Media)
