BUFFALO, N.Y. - The parents of a 7-year-old boy who died after an upstate New York car crash have fulfilled his wish that they get married, and they did it at the child's funeral.
Amilcar Hill and Rahwa Ghirmatizion got married during Monday's funeral service in Buffalo for their son, Asa Hill. Asa died a day after his grandfather's car was involved a chain-reaction highway crash last week.
Hundreds of people packed the church for Asa's funeral. The couple surprised attendees by getting married, which the parents say their son had been asking them to do.
Amilcar Hill says Asa's organs were being donated to save other young lives.

Odd, but sweet. I think just announcing the nuptials might have been a little more tasteful, but hopefully it'll work out for them.

Wow good luck to them. The death of a child is difficult for any couple to handle, it's not rare to eventually get divorced because it's all just too much. To get married at such a time is quite brave, I guess. D: I wonder if they thought it through, though.

I guess save on money for everything but the reasoning is way beyond comprehension

Am I the only one who finds nothing wrong with this at all? Well, as long as they're getting married for more reasons than because their son wanted them to.
