Father at 13, he weds mum

London: A 22-year-old man in Britain who became a dad when he was just 13 years has finally tied the knot with the mum, a media report said.

Michael Fernandes, now 22, and Cheryl Holden, 24, proved wrong all the doubters who said the relationship would not last, The Sun newspaper reported Saturday.

They married in Manchester, with first son Liam, eight, the best man and second son Bryan, three, a pageboy. Third son Archie, who is one, was also taken along.

Landscape gardener Michael had proposed in 2009 but the hard-up pair could not afford to marry until they won a competition to pay for it - and take along 40 guests.
