Couple gets hitched in a funeral home
You know what I think is romantic? Flowers.
You know what Jason and Rachael Storm think is romantic? Formaldehyde.
Hey, to each his own, right?
The newly-minted Storms beat marital cynics to the punch and tied the knot at a Michigan funeral home, The Associated Press reports.
We’ll pause here to give you a moment to come up with your own snarky till-death-do-us-part joke.
OK.
And it gets better - the Storms had their reception at the funeral home too. It was … ahem … a killer party. Zing!
The couple is well-versed in the life con corpse — Jason is a funeral director himself.
So when it came time to pick a place to tie the knot, the Menchinger Family Funeral Home seemed as good a place as any.
“I look at it as, if you go to a church and get married, how many caskets do you think have been rolled down that aisle?” he told The Herald-Palladium of St. Joseph.
Riiiiiiiiight.
The minister who conducted the ceremony tried to make the best of it, noting that the room is usually filled with “sadness and contemplation,” but that day it was filled with “joy and celebration.”
You’ll notice he artfully neglected to mention the fact it is also usually filled with FREAKY DEAD PEOPLE OMG.
The Storms said initially some of their guests refused to attend, but they warmed to the idea once they were assured there wouldn’t be any caskets or corpses in the room.
