Children elope to Africa to get married

[claidheamhmor]

This was an amusing story:

Childhood sweethearts, aged 6 and 7, try to elope to Africa to get married 'where it is warm'

"

The two sweethearts eloped at dawn, destination Africa.

They dreamed of marrying in the blazing sunshine, surrounded by lions, zebras and perhaps the odd giraffe.

The pair even took an accomplice with them to act as a witness in case no locals were available. Sadly, however, their romantic mission was doomed to failure – since the would-be bride and groom were aged seven and six, while their witness was only five.

Yesterday, the runaways were back with their parents after a rail guard intercepted them at a station.

I read that somewhere else, it's so cute! I love it that the police were so kind and sympathetic and didn't laugh, but gave them a tour of the police station to make up for their disappointment. Awwww! You just know that's going to come up in the speeches when they do get married!
