Love in a bottle

This is a lovely story about a message in a bottle that turned into a love story. It truly is an amazing story! :) Here it goes:

"Ake Viking was a lonely Swedish sailor who decided to place his search for love in the hands of fate. He wrote a simple letter "To Someone Beautiful and Far Away," corked it inside a bottle, and tossed it overboard in the hopes that it might help him find a young woman to marry.

Two years later, in 1958, he was surprised to receive a letter from a Sicilian girl, Paolina, who said, "I am not beautiful, but it seems so miraculous that this little bottle should have traveled so far and long to reach me that I must send you an answer"¦" The two began writing one another and, three years after he threw a bottle into the sea, Ake moved to Sicily to marry his very long-distance love."
