Two childhood sweethearts, aged six and seven, eloped from Hanover in northern Germany earlier this year, determined to tie the knot under the African sun. The pair identified as Mika and Anna-Lena "are very much in love and decided to get married in Africa where it is warm, taking with them as a witness Anna-Lena's little sister, aged five", police spokesman Holger Jureczko said.
The trio packed all the essentials for the journey, including "sunglasses, swimming trunks, a lilo, summer clothes and provisions". While their parents slept, they left their house in the suburbs of Hanover, walked a kilometre up the road and took a tram for the central station. Waiting for a train to the airport, they aroused the attention and two police officers who managed to convince the young lovers that they would struggle to get to Africa without money or a plane ticket. As a consolation, the children were given a special tour of the police headquarters, where they were especially taken with the detention cells.
