All that hanging upside down has sent the New Zealanders insane. Either that or funeral prices there are so high that the only way to have a proper funeral was to do it at the wedding. Why else would you bring your dead grandpa in his coffin to your wedding?
According to the AP report, Grandpa died just two days before the wedding, and, rather than interring him decently, the family took him to the wedding and had an open coffin in the church during the ceremony and at the end of the reception hall during the post-wedding festivities. The bride said, “He was just there…and people went up to see him. It really helped everybody….”
I just don’t even want to think about this. Really.
