Woman weds corpse
 

(gg)

AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - An Indian woman,
despairing over her lover's accidental death when he
fell down a well soon after their engagement, insisted
on ceremonially marrying his corpse just minutes
before the cremation.

"It was for just few minutes the girl was dressed as a
bride and then as a widow," K.M. Kapadia, a police
officer in the town of Anand in western Gujarat state,
said on Saturday.

Wedding attendees sat the corpse up by a fire, the
traditional center of Hindu wedding ceremonies, and
chanted some marriage prayers before cremating the
body, police said.

"The girl refused to give away the body of her lover
for the cremation till she tied the knot with him,"
Kapadia said.

The bride's parents opposed the marriage but later
attended the wedding ceremony and gave their
22-year-old daughter Tulsi Devipujak clothes and
utensils as gifts, according to the Hindu tradition.

"You may now kiss the groom...and push him into the fire" :D

OMG!!!!!


I wonder if she got a fireplace set. :roflmao:

:roflmao:

Great, now I've got a gameplan. Go to India, kill myself and get married.

Gotta' admit, it was one hot wedding. :rolleyes2

Wonder is she broke into a chorus of 'You light up my life'?

Was their wedding song something by Blue Oyster Cult?

Wow .... I could start a BPO there offering this service ....!!!! :-)
