BUFFALO -- 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.

it might be tacky but i think its sweet
12:48 AGREED!
Speaking of a child's funeral...the one for Kara Adams today was just beautiful. What a tribute to such a sweet child....
i don't know how i feel about this. i mean, this was supposed to be a day of remembrance of the little boy that died. not a celebration of marriage. on the flip side, it was done is his memory so... i dunno. its disrespectfuly/thoughful at the same time.
VERY BIZARRE
I wonder if the boy was worried that one of his parents (Rahwa, I assume was his mother) was facing deportation. Maybe it was done to get Ghirmatizion citizenship...
Good gesture/story, but I'm still bitter about the earlier immigration post/issues.
strange, biarre even, but somehow nice at the same time. I hand it to them. It provokes thought
No disrespect to the family,but why didnt they get married in the past 7 yrs? I dont understand why everyone does it backwards(have kids and then marry)
God bless them and their family but the wedding should have been a separate occasion.
