The unusual Casket wedding ceremony took place on Valentine’s day, February 14, 2015 at Wat Takien Buddhist temple in Nonthaburi province, on the outskirts of Bangkok.

These couples strongly believe that this local tradition of laying briefly in a coffin will drive away bad luck and bring happiness into their lives.
