Couple Spotlight: The Love Story Of Erwin Azizi & Angela Karto That Gets Better With Age

They’re the couple about town that everyone welcomes with open arms. Beautiful, warm and amicable, Erwin and Angela are 2 individuals who lead their own lives but admired for the time they make for each other, be it a laidback day with their 3 sons or a night out with their high society besties. Erwin first met the Indonesian beauty in 2009 when in Jakarta, that ensued in a funny tale of tug-of-war.
