"Finding a life partner was like finding a light in a dark cave," writes Satoko Yoshida, describing that joy by the only means she can — a keyboard — due to the fact she was born with hearing problems and suffers paralysis on the right side of her body.
In a recent interview, the 32-year-old from Kanagawa Prefecture went on to explain via her computer how she had never dreamed of a wedding for herself until she signed up at Yokohama Bridal Center.
Before doing that, Yoshida had been registered with several well-known marriage-consultant companies for five years, and she'd met about 40 men seeking wives — but none of those contacts lasted long.
