    I think it mostly has to do with there culture, something I will never understand. If that is the parents wishes, then so be it. Who are we to judge what they do?

    I personlly find the wedding part funny. I have never heard of someone after death getting married? Is this even legal? How does this go about? I mean, seriously, Do they get married while in there coffins? Is someone going to be escorting them? And I'm asking these questions out of curiosity, not out of dis-respect.

    I'm not insulting anyone. The whole ridiculous thing pokes fun at the wedding ceremony.

    How can they make their vows?

    Would this girl want to be tied to a man who killed her?

    Well I hope that I did not affend any ones feelings. If I did then i'm sorry. But I too was only laughing at the fact of a marrige of dead people. I would never ever laugh at anyone who is dead and poke fun of it. Especially sense the crap I have been through this year so I can kinda see both sides of the story. I wouldn't make fun of their culture eather. The only part that I find sad is that the poor woman is getting married to her murderer. Thats sad. But customs are custums and if thats what they want then so be it. But again, I wouldn't laugh at things like that. I just found it a little odd.

    I am sorry , but you do have to see it from both sides of the story ya know?

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I really don't think anyone here was making fun of the people or the culture. It seems like people just think the idea of two dead people getting married is kind of funny. I honestly don't think anyone ment to be offensive in any way.

    I'm sickened.


    We would laugh over this because .... it's funny.

    No, not funny that he killed her, obviously. Anyone knows that is not why. I'm sorry, but two dead people getting married IS funny. No one is making fun of their deaths or their culture, for Pete's sake. But the visual of dead people being married IS funny.

    I highly doubt anyone from their tribe is going to read our little website here and be offended.

    Twister dog that's exactly what I was trying to say, only you worded it better

    When I read the story this is what I pictured.


    For those who don't know they are skeletons from the Day of the Dead in Mexico.

    I don't know why I can't get that picture to post. I've never had problems before.

    What I'm saying is, if this happened in the States I doubt we'd be posting about it and laughing. It would strike us more as sick and depressing. Instead, people here seem to think it's a real knee slapper.

    Why is it funny that they're burying the dead in their wedding clothes and giving them a wedding blessing? We don't know enough about the story...could it have been a suicide pact? Are the parents simply honoring them?

    Again, I don't see how two dead people being buried and their family having them in wedding dress and blessed to help cope with their loss as amusing.

    I have to agree. It IS funny.

    I don't think anyone's making fun of their culture. I for one would think dead people getting married was funny no matter where it was being done. Its just...weird. Very strange.

    I don't think thats fare to say. To be honest with you I didn't catch where they were from as my frined IMed me about it, I then asked some questions and asked her for the link and she sent it to me, I never took the time to read this well enough to tell you where they came from, I just skimmed it and posted it. (I tend NOT to remember minor details like that!)

    I don't judge people by where they come from, if that happened here in the states I would laugh and joke just as I was now. I don't think it makes a diffrence.
