Bride chooses funeral theme for wedding
A bride has chosen a funeral theme for her wedding.
Undertaker Margaret Cullen arrived in a hearse and had a coffin-shaped wedding cake.
She wore a gothic black dress to walk down the aisle at Strone Church in Dunoon Argyll.
Margaret, 42, wed former undertaker Carl Evans, 52.
She told the Daily Record: "Undertaking provided us with a great deal of satisfaction and that is why we chose to have a funeral theme.
"I am in and out of hearses every day and it seemed natural to use one for the wedding."
Margaret, who is originally from Wishaw in Lanarkshire, now lives in Surrey.
She said: "We met each other working in the funeral business and it is a job which we love.
"I have been a funeral director for 14 years and you become emotionally attached to it. It becomes part of your life.
"A lot of our guests are also connected with funerals and I think they appreciated the gesture we made."
