"I cannot be sad but should be strong like you always told me to be." She said that before he'd left for the flight, Mr Pratama had joked that should he not return in time she should take the pictures and send them to him.The plane was carrying 189 people from Jakarta to Pangkal Pinang; there were no survivors of the crash and the fuselage of the Boeing 737 has not been found yet.Image copyrightInstagram/intansyariiiImage caption The couple had chosen the gown together In earlier posts on her Instagram page, Ms Syari wrote that she'd known her fiance for 13 years, describing him as her "first love".The photographer who took the pictures also posted some of them online, explaining the story behind them.The couple had known each other since middle school, she writes, and explained how they had decided on the clothes for the wedding and the photo shoot just a few weeks before the crash.
Mr Pratama, a medical doctor, had to attend a seminar in Jakarta and before leaving, had joked about what his fiance would do if he was delayed.Image copyrightInstagram/intansyariiiImage caption Rio Nanda Pratama and Intan Syari had known each other for 13 years "If I don't return by 11 November, you should still wear your wedding gown that I chose for you," the photographer cites him on her Instagram account.
"Wear beautiful make-up, ask for a white roses.
Take good photos and send them to me."On his way back to their home town of Pangkal Pinang for the wedding, he took the ill-fated flight, which crashed soon after taking off.There is as yet no indication of what caused the crash but the plane had experienced technical problems related to airspeed and altitude readings on the previous flight.One of the black box recorders from the flight has been retrieved since but authorities say it could take months to analyse the data from it.
