Couple slammed for ‘disrespectful’ funeral feature at wedding as guests left bewildered

The newlyweds have faced criticism over their strange wedding theme, as the groom travelled down the aisle in a unusual mode of transport

Weddings are incredibly personal to a bride and groom, and usually the small details on their big day will reflect them as a couple. While someone’s colour scheme or table decorations might not be your cup of tea, guests usually appreciate the effort that’s gone into finding what suits the newlyweds.

One married couple has caused outrage, however, as their bizarre wedding theme has been branded as incredible distasteful. While many couples opt for romance and arrive at their ceremony in a horse and carriage, vintage Rolls Royce, boat, or even a bicycle made for two, this groom chose to rock up in a coffin.

After one of the wedding guests filmed the unusual nuptials and posted it online, the clip has since gone viral on TikTok as people question the groom’s strange choice.

TikToker @tobz88 captured the groom’s entrance at the outdoor ceremony on film, and captioned the video: “Is this a funeral? No this is how my friend decided to walk down the aisle”.

His morbid choice has so far not been explained, and the bride’s reaction wasn’t recorded, but the short clip has certainly caused some contorversy on the app as it’s gained a huge 6.8 million views to date.

Dramatic music plays in the background as a big car arrives – not a hearse – and the doors are opened, revealing a casket with the groom inside. This was no Gothic-themed wedding, however, as the groomsmen are snapped wearing pale grey suits and the bridesmaids in floaty lilac dresses.

The video shows them stumbling and struggling under the weight of the coffin as they carry it to the spot where the bride and grooms make their solemn vows.

Wedding guests look on with a mix of interest, curiosity and embarrassment. At least one of the groomsmen can be seen shaking his head.

Once the casket is placed down, the soon-to-be-married man lifts the lid and steps out of his wooden box, and gets ready for the business of getting married.

The video is captioned: “Tell me you’re dramatic without telling me you’re dramatic”.

TikTok users have flooded the comments section on the post to share their thoughts, with one joking: “We would be divorced before we said I do.”

Someone else said: “They all were so embarrassed, I’d be embarrassed as well, no offense.”

“His only explanation better be that life wasn’t worth living until he met me?” a third commenter jibed.

Another TikToker defended the groom’s decision, writing: “I actually thought this was kinda cute. I interpret it as like, ‘I was dead before I met you’ or ‘my life didn’t truly start until I met you’.”
