TRADITIONAL wedding vows include the words "till death do us part", but usually that's the only reminder of mortality during these joyous occasions.
That wasn't the case for a couple in Singapore who last week tied the knot at one of the Lion City's "columbariums" - a facility used for the public storage of crematory urns.
The traditional ceremony took place at Nirvana Memorial Garden (pictured), with the unusual location chosen because it was where the pair first met.
"It's fate. We met here - she came to pay her respects while I was touring the area," the erstwhile groom told the local Asia One news website.
The couple had always hoped to take their wedding photos at the special place, while the new husband also said he saw it as a way of 'informing' his deceased relatives that he was getting married while at the same time paying his respects.
The report noted that the pair were clearly dead serious about the importance of matrimony.
