Till Death Do Us Not Part
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.
