Apparently a woman in France has married her dead boyfriend who died in 2002. The story is that she had to get approval from the French President. The boyfriend didn’t attend.
If this is true, it sure beats the hell out of queer marriage.

I wouldn’t know to be honest, but that reminds me of an article in Jets magazine where a pilot explains the various tribulations associated with flying a combat aircraft fromthe UK to Paris for an airshow.

this case is so special you need a dispensation from the French President.
Possibly easier to obtain than overfly rights from ATC.

Well done sauron.
This post truly encapsulates your sensitive and intelligent nature.
You either have the sense of humour of a very lame teenager or you are completely lacking in insight into human decency. Either way, your posts are as pleasant as a stranger’s flatulence in a crowded lift.
Futher to the reasons given above, the woman in question also said that she wanted to bear her late boyfriend’s surname for personal and emotional resaons and that this ceremony was what he would have wanted.
As Hand pointed out, apparently, this case is so special you need a dispensation from the French President.

Yes Kev. Ren summarized the story.

Ah.. now I’ve seen it on the news it makes more sennse.
He was a policeman, killed in duty, she was going to marry him anyway. They have a child on the way. Legally it benefits the child to have access to his father’s estate. She wants to legally bear his surname etc. Her mother was in tears of grief and the woman became a widow the moment the ceremony was performed.

They had to amend the vows a little to include the line “Til cryogenics doth us unite”
