Two sweethearts (5&6 years old) from Germany try to go to Africa to get married!

I love how they had some swimming stuff and they thought they would be back soon!

Oh my goodness, that is the cutest thing ever. They put more thought into that than some couples my age!! I thought it was adorable that they even thought to bring a witness. Wont this be a great story when they're older!!

That is hysterical! Of course if I were their mom I wouldn't have thought so until they were found. It's too funny that they thought to bring along a witness.

That is a rollercoaster of a story: cute, sweet, and horrifying as a parent!

 

[cheermom1]

that just goes to show never underestimate a child!!

Lol, yeah, I would laugh and hug them after I had finished yelling at them for scaring me to death! Kudos for the police for thinking something wasn't right!

It still cracks me up that they thought the would be back soon.

OMG, that is adorable. I gotta admit, when I was 5, I tried to marry my sweetheart, Robbie. Only we had my baby doll be our witness. Those kids had everything so planned out, I love it.

My sister and her boyfriend got married in the church basement (his dad was the minister) and divorced at fellowship coffee the same day after they couldn't agree on living arrangements. He wanted to live in his parents basement, she wanted to live in WDW.

Mika said: "We wanted to take the train to the airport, then we wanted to get on a plane and when we arrived we wanted to unpack the summer things and then we wanted to go for a bit of a stroll in the sun."

"A bit of a stroll in the sun"...he sounds like the romantic type. In 20 years...

Thats so sweet but scary!

That's adorable!! Of course it wouldn't be to the parents till now. They're pretty smart to think to bring a witness!

I was about to put away the baby gate that we keep atop the stairs....not anymore!

Oh, I feel so bad for the parents. Our middle child didn't answer us for 20 minutes once and we could not find her ANYWHERE. It was the most horrible feeling and I didn't get my regular heartbeat back until the next afternoon.
