According to reports, their marriage took place on Saturday, October 14th, in a parish church in a small village of Dabo in Alsace-Lorraine, north-east France, after fighting for months with French authorities to give them the right to marry.
Reports has it that Elizabeth, who met Eric's father in 1989, had a child with him in 1997. They later got married in 2003 and divorced in 2006. Meanwhile, Eric was Elizabeth's step-son while all these happened but now, he's her husband.
Talking about her divorce in 2006, Elizabeth told French daily Republicain-lorrain.fr:
"I was not expecting it, it was a shock. I was an adult so I made do. But our daughter who was nine-years-old felt the separation very badly. She cried every day. That's when Eric was a great support for us and our relationship evolved."Speaking about the twisted situation, Eric said he did his best to comfort his half-sister, who is now his step-daughter.
"When my father left my mother, I felt abandoned. I knew how she felt. So I had to be there for both of them."Many people including the French government didn't support the union but the couple kept pushing hard until they won legal marriage rights.
Eric's father initially was against the affair but had no choice than to give them all the support and blessings.
"Eric's father, who is also my ex-husband agrees perfectly our history. Our girls too. They have almost the same age and consider themselves sisters. We never differentiate between them. I simply hope that our story will be useful to other couples in our situation, because I know there are some," Elizabeth said.
