Bride Jenny Buckleff wanted to make her wedding memorable by doing something different – by turning up in a coffin. The 58-year-old “corpse bride” pull out the unexpected entrance on Saturday when she got married to Christopher Lockett, 51, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs.
Jenny, who works for Bet365 in customer service, said: "I just wanted to do something a little bit different!
"I almost didn't tell Chris but in the end I spilled the beans about three weeks before.
"He was a bit surprised but he said as long as I was happy he would go with the flow.
"What more could I ask for from a new husband?!"
Jenny, a former funeral parlour worker and a qualified embalmer, lay in the black coffin with the lid closed as she was pulled along by a motorcycle.
Jenny said: "It's definitely different. Instead of turning up in a horse-drawn cart, I thought I'm going to turn up in a coffin.
"The groom was a little shocked when I told him my plans, but he just went with the flow.
"The best man didn't know until the day. A lot of people didn't know."
