1. “I just wanted to do something original! Instead of a carriage and horses, I decided to come in a coffin,” says Jenny. As a result, she arrived at the ceremony in a coffin with a closed lid, which was pulled by a motorcycle on a trailer.
2. This is Jenny Buckleff and her 51-year-old husband, Christopher Lockett. They got married in the English town of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
3. “At first I didn’t want to say anything to Chris, but I ended up spilling the beans three weeks before the ceremony. He was a little surprised, but said that if it made me happy, then he would endure anything. What more can you ask from a new husband?
4. Jenny used to work at a funeral home. In addition, she is a skilled embalmer. So her choice of vehicle isn't particularly surprising... or is it?
5. The black coffin with the image of Death on the roof belongs to the bride's brother Roger, who was given the coffin by his daughter.
6. The couple decided to get married near Roger's house, because. he had a heart attack last year and is now unable to travel long distances.
7. Mrs. Buckleff claims that she doesn't usually dress like that and that she's not Goth at all. “But my brother is different. He is covered in tattoos, so he fit perfectly into our unusual wedding.” The guests were shocked.
8. “I liked that I was able to please my brother, with whom we are very close, and also do something unusual. He also liked it very much, and the day was a success.”
The "newlyweds" met six months ago, and Chris made an offer a month later.
9. “My husband has always been interested in skulls and skeletons. The house is full of such decorations, and he himself is covered from head to toe with themed tattoos. The coffin is on a trailer, so when we go on a bike ride, we carry our gear in it. Of course, they stare at us, because it's so original, ”Jenny boasts.
