Tale wedding

The girl who 25 years ago became the image of Africa's food crisis is committed to another survivor of the disaster.

Birhan Woldu is 28 and his own life is a story that began with misfortune and ends with a happy ending. 25 years ago became the symbol of the great famine across Ethiopia, when he was a child, and today is a heroic and happy woman. Her future husband is Birhanu Meres, another survivor of the crisis, whom he met six years ago, and together they begin a new life now.

When the bride was three, his photo went around the world after its exhibition at the legendary Live Aid concert held at Wembley (UK) in 1985. But this little girl malnourished and ill managed to get ahead and are preparing to experience the biggest day of your life. "My life is wonderful, I am very happy. Berhanu is a lovely man," said the British newspaper The Sun.

The Ethiopian Orthodox ceremony in which the couple exchanged engagement rings and received the blessing of the priest in Qwiha, north of the country. Birhan and Berhanu (she, wearing a white dress bride and veil, and he and business suit) were radiant and very happy. Gone are the days of hardship for this pair, who eagerly awaits the arrival of the wedding. "I have two children," said Birhan, "a boy and a girl, so that my life is full".

In 2005, Birhan reappeared on stage in humanitarian concert Live 8 in the UK, but this time he did it for the fantastic news of his survival, and in style: from the hand of the Madonna herself, held with all the attendees that she did have a second chance.

Human life is perfect. The human being becomes a sea of regret and sadness unending.
