NICE, France (Reuters) - A 35-year-old French woman
has married her boyfriend 18 months after he was
killed in a car accident.

Christel Demichel, who wore black, was married Tuesday
under a little-used law in the presence of friends and
relatives at city hall in the southern city of Nice,
local officials said. It would have been her husband
Eric's 30th birthday.

"Eric and I promised when he was alive that we would
get married," she told French television. "Even though
he is dead, I respect the values I shared with him,
especially as his death was not his fault."

Eric Demichel, a policeman, was killed in a
hit-and-run car accident in September 2002. Christel,
who was pregnant at the time, lost her baby in the
same accident.

"I lived a beautiful love story and this wedding
testifies to it," Demichel said.

Posthumous marriage is allowed in France under a law
introduced by former President Charles de Gaulle.

now.. that is a sad attempt at a marriage...

WAIT... hold it... it is all becoming more clear to me....

she doesn't have to pick his socks up off the floor....

She doesn't have to fight over the tv control...

She doesn't have to suffer thru the needless petty arguments...

She doesn't have to swallow....

and...

She doesn't have to worry about him leaving the toilet seat up!!!!!!!!!!


ROFL


for the record... I swallow. ROFLMAO

Hmmm - my question is, if posthumous marriage is legal, how about posthumous divorce? Because if in ten years time, she meets someone and wants to get married, she'll be buggered if she can't divorce him!

The bride wore black,the groom wore an urn. heh heh heh

>>>Till death do us part.....



ISNT ANYTHING SACRED ANYMORE!!!!

jennaflower---She doesn't HAVE to do,any of those things.She can do them if she wants to,but a wife ,is a wife,not a servant!
If she does those things,it should be because she wants to,or she
married a pig,in the first place.If you married someone,there should be mutual respect.Sorry,if I blew some minds,but thats the way I feel! Irish

ok, my first thought is ewww! LOL

Seriously, that divorce question comes to mind. Then again, I suppose she's technically a widow, so I guess it doesn't matter :p
