The Well Baby Gets Married

Okay, I had my glass of cynic juice this morning. Why did this 19 year old girl marry a 32 year old man? Another article I saw on this said she was a former college student and would be getting a million dollar trust when she turned 25. Hmmmm ....

Jessica McClure, the toddler who captured the nation's heart and evoked its prayers 18 years ago from 22 feet below the surface of this oil patch town, is a married woman.

McClure – now 19 and a student at Midland College – was married Saturday to Daniel Morales, 32, at a Church of Christ in a small rural community outside of the town. The couple met at a day-care center where Morales’s sister worked with the bride.

Inside, the church sanctuary was decorated with loops of white tulle for the private afternoon ceremony. At the altar was a white archway, and suspended underneath were two open hearts, mirroring the interlocking hearts on the couple’s wedding invitation. Posted on the door was a request made to guests: 'No Cameras or Picture Phones! No Video Cameras' – a message in step with the extremely private McClure family.
