Mika and his girlfriend Anna-Bell found on way to airport with lilo, swimming trunks and a witness for the wedding in tow
t is a dream that has been shared by lovers across the centuries – the chance to elope to exotic lands. But few would have been as bold and spontaneous as six-year-old Mika and his five-year-old sweetheart Anna-Bell who, after mulling over their options in secret, packed their suitcases on New Year's Eve and set off from the German city of Hanover to tie the knot under the heat of the African sun.
The children left their homes at dawn while their unwitting parents were apparently sleeping, and took along Mika's seven-year-old sister, Anna-Lena, as a witness to the wedding.
Donning sunglasses, swimming armbands and dragging a pink blow-up lilo and suitcases on wheels packed with summer clothes, cuddly toys and a few provisions, they walked a kilometre up the road, boarded a tram to Hanover train station and got as far as the express train that would take them to the airport before a suspicious station guard alerted police.
"What struck us was that the little ones were completely on their own and that they had lots of swimming gear with them," said Holger Jureczko, a police spokesman. He described Mika and Anna-Bell as "sweethearts" who had "decided to get married in Africa where it is warm, taking with them as a witness Mika's sister".
Anna-Bell told the German television station RTL: "We wanted to get married and so we just thought: 'Let's go there.' "

Why yes... yes I am.
Mikey fell in love with me in pre-school. He was supposed to bring flowers in for our teacher, but he gave them to me. I didn’t like him because he was a redhead. Ahem. Later, I fell HARD for Reid Hewlitt. 7th grade. He didn’t like me because I was a redhead. What goes around...
not asleep, just working....
um someone has to work around here ;)
that pic was my senior prom, 1983
(btw, obviously he’s still jealous
about the pogo stick thing)
Yep.
Wanna know something? I just watched our red-headed 19-yo do that.
He fell HARD for a red-head...who didn’t like red-heads.
My son had a serious crush on a little girl in pre-school. They were inseperable and talked constantly of marrying. One day he came home and said he wasn’t going to marry her after all, when I inquired as to the reason he said she was just too bossy. lol And from that point on, it was over, I am not sure what she did, but it was a love ender for sure.
Her daddy was a NFL wide receiver.
Oh no! Maybe it’s some sort of genetic safety switch...two redheads together would be a disaster, so we reds repel one another. :)
