Chinese man marries the corpse of his bride

Devoted partner Yu Liang, 27, married his fiancee's body after she died just days before their wedding day.

Bride Zhang Jinying, 25, was clothed in her wedding dress and brought up the aisle in a flower-covered glass coffin for the service in Zhengzhou, central China.

Cosmetics saleswomen Jinying had died during an epileptic fit, but her fiance persuaded her grieving parents to go ahead with the service.



"I had promised her a white wedding and I wasn't going to break my word to her. I now feel like her husband," said Liang.

A funeral service was held immediately after the wedding.

Now Liang plans to take the honeymoon the couple planned in Korea - taking a photo of his bride with him.
