A wire-mesh barrier prevented the traditional kiss after the ceremony, and the honeymoon is a long way off, but that didn't stop a California grandmother from marrying convicted murderer Daniel Gingras in prison.
Judith Maleki, 48, who said she fell in love with Gingras after seeing his picture on a supermarket tabloid, married him Tuesday inside the maximum-security Saskatchewan Penitentiary."I love him. He's so wonderful," said Maleki. "You don't know him . . . He's a wonderful man."
She said her grandson Kyle, 8, gave her away at the wedding.
It will be some time, though, before any honeymoon - Gingras, who is 39, won't be eligible for parole before 2013.
Maleki, of Glendale, Calif., said that after seeing him on a tabloid she fell in love through letters. She said she will return to California, change her last name to Gingras and wait 22 years for the honeymoon.
Gingras is serving three life sentences for murder, two of them for murders committed after he escaped from an escort while on a day pass to an Edmonton mall.
