Alina, born in 1999 in Cholpon-Ata, Issyk-Kul region, moved to the Kochkor district after her marriage. By profession, she is a cook, but she is currently a housewife. Her marriage to Nurgazy Zhaksylyqbek uulu, a young man with disabilities, has become a topic of discussion. “We met online, and he often says that he fell in love with me at first sight when he saw my photo. We communicated for three months and met only three times before the wedding. Interestingly, we have similar last names,” Alina shared.
Nurgazy immediately disclosed his disabilities to her, but Alina initially did not believe him, as in their phone conversations he talked about herding cattle and cleaning the yard. She thought he was joking. After meeting him, she realized it was true, but she took it calmly.
The couple's first meeting was very memorable for Alina. “I was in Bishkek, and he suggested we meet. I didn’t give a definite answer, but he came anyway. He waited for me in the rain from 10 AM to 6 PM, knowing about my love for strawberries and flowers. At some point, he got angry and went to friends who ate my strawberries. I finally decided to go out, saying I was going to the salon. When I entered the ‘Russia’ cinema, I told him I hadn’t arrived yet, and he waited for me for another half hour. When I saw him entering the cinema with a wet bouquet, I couldn’t help but laugh,” she recounted.
Alina noted that Nurgazy told her he would marry her, and soon he took her away. “My parents supported our choice. We received blessings from our loved ones, and he took me on August 12, and the wedding took place on August 27. My new relatives accepted me as their own, and I quickly adapted. We were not in the spotlight before, but after the wedding, our videos became popular online, and people began to recognize us. We enjoyed reading the comments—thanking those who wished us happiness and laughing at the negative reviews,” the girl noted.

Despite common opinions about her husband's wealth, Alina claims that they live just like everyone else. Some people express their condolences to her, but she is confident that she made the right choice by following her heart.
In the future, Alina and Nurgazy dream of a harmonious life and for their family to be proud not only of their relatives but of the entire Kyrgyz people. They also plan to implement new projects and serve their people.
