Love Requires No Age

Behind every little girl's dream is to marry a man who will love him through thick and thin, for who she is and no matter what. She dreams about her wedding day wherein she will be dressed in white, feeling like she's floating while she's walking down the isle. The man of her dreams will take her to the altar and exchange vows with her. That's a typical story for a 27 year old woman.

But 9-year-old Jayla Cooper didn’t have a lifetime to wait for Mr. Right. The Southlake, TX, girl had been battling leukemia for two years, a battle that would end in just a matter of weeks. But what Jayla did have was a groom. He’s her best friend, Jose Griggs, 7, a fellow patient at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. Jayla and Jose tied the knot in February 2009 to fulfill her final wish: Getting married in a beautiful wedding, surrounded by family and friends. From the flowers to the banquet hall, donations poured in to give a North Texas bride the wedding of her dreams. Jaila died on Wednesday, April 1, 2009.

It's true that love requires no age. It's pretty amazing how this couple made the most out of their lives. They look happy, indeed!

Question: Could kids be married at a young age as long as they have the permission of their parents?

The story was so sad, indeed in other country it may happen, but here in the Philippines, children are not allowed to get married at that early stage. I felt sad about what happened to the girl, having a serious illness at her young age... :((

I honestly don't think so hehehe..

I mean.. minsan we think we're in love.. and it's enough.. but there is much more what we have to know about what love is..

Marrying someone is not an easy task.. kailangan ng ingat. Hindi kasi lahat nadadaan sa puro puso, it needs thinking as well.
