He created an application form and told to his family to interview some candidates and select one of them. And that's it! the winner was Runze. Weinlick and Runze just met at the same day of the wedding.. Runze said that it had been the best day that she had in her life. Also to Weinlick because she had all the qualities that he wait in a woman.

Eventually, it was Runze who won this competition. Moreover, more than 11 years after they have married, they are the parents of four children.
