Baby Jessica, rescued from well 18 years ago, weds at age 19
Published: January 31, 2006
Baby Jessica, whose dramatic rescue from an abandoned Texas well was televised across the country 18 years ago, got married in a private ceremony, People magazine reported on its website.
Crews struggled for 58 hours to rescue Jessica McClure after she fell into an 20-centimetre-wide pipe in October 1987. The celebrity magazine reported that McClure, now 19, married Daniel Morales, 32, at a rural church outside Midland on Saturday. A sign on the door instructed guests not to take pictures or video, the magazine said.
The two met at a daycare centre where Morales’ sister worked with McClure, according to the magazine.
The case of 18-month-old Jessica created a worldwide sensation. Emergency crews rescued her - a dramatic moment covered on live television - after digging a parallel shaft and then breaking through the wall of the well.
