Dead Couple To Get Married

WHERE ARE YOU RICHARD!! :eek:

Dead Couple to Be Married



JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African man who shot his pregnant fiancýe 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."

Actually Richard and I are on the same time zone and it's only a 11:33pm here. He's probably out with his buddies now.

I'll have to ask Martha Stewart about this, but is it appropriate that the attendees bring a wedding present? :confused: :D

Why would you laugh over this? It's horrible and insulting to their deaths and culture.

I'm sickened.

:eek:Why would they want them to get married if he killed her??

That is terrible :(.

I said this on another board I'm a member of.

No, but I think him shooting her dead put a bit of a damper on it. :glare:

For some reason I don't think her spirit is going to be too happy about her family wanting her to be married to her murdering fiance. :Oo:

I don't think it's funny. :( I think it's strange and sad that her family would even want this to happen. :confused:

The whole thing is just sad.
