Marrying the Dead

(Johannesburg, South Africa) David Masenta shot his fiancee, 25-year-old Mgwanini Molomo, after a quarrel and then turned the gun on himself. Nonetheless, their wedding plans will be posthumously carried out by their families.

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.

According to cultural expert Mathole Motshekga,

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

Okay.
