Magali Jaskiewicz and Jonathan George had planned to marry at the local town hall in November 2008, but tragically, Jonathan died in a motorcycle accident just two days before the wedding. However, Magali, 32, decided to go ahead with the wedding.
In fact, all the legal procedures for the wedding had been completed before Jonathan’s death, so under French law, the marriage was still recognized. Magali provided officials with evidence that she and Jonathan had lived together since 2004 and shared a bank account. She also provided a photo of the wedding dress she had purchased to wear at the ceremony.
Magali’s story is a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit. Despite the heartbreaking loss of her fiancé, she chose to honor their commitment to each other and celebrate their love. Her story also raises questions about the legal recognition of posthumous marriages and the importance of honoring the wishes of those who have passed away.
