MIDLAND, Texas (AP) - ``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 Web site.
Crews struggled for 58 hours to rescue Jessica McClure after she fell
into an 8-inch-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 day-care center where Morales' sister worked with
McClure, according to the magazine.
The case of 18-month-old Jessica created a nationwide 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.
