JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African man who shot
his pregnant fiance dead before killing himself will
be posthumously married to her at the weekend.

Police Captain Mohale Ramatseba said David Masenta
shot 25-year-old Mgwanini Molomo after a quarrel
before turning the gun on himself. But Johannesburg's
Sowetan newspaper said family and friends wanted to
remember them as a happy couple destined for a happy
life together.

The groom's corpse would be dressed in a cream suit
and his bride's in a gown for the ceremony, at which a
priest in the rural village of Ceres in Limpopo will
bless the union before the two are buried, the Sowetan
said.

"In African culture, there is no death -- there is
merely the separation of body and soul," said cultural
expert Mathole Motshekga. "It is also important
because the families are married together."

"This does not mean the relationship has irretrievably
broken down."

:confused: sometimes life is stranger than fiction

It is odd in that most of us are not considered legally dead until after marriage...

geez, i saw da title and thought for sure they were talking about me and my ex

HHHMMMMM...I'd say cremate them both,toss their ashes in the same urn,shake it up and give them a honeymoon at sea.
