In Belgium a young couple was married during their own funeral. They had both lost their lives when their helicopter crashed. If it had not been for this tragic accident they were to be married later this year. The 24-year-old couple had been together 7 years and they originally planned to travel home by train. The helicopter was piloted by the father of the groom. A mother and sister were also aboard the helicopter when it crashed. Witnesses declared that the helicopter was probably brought down by technical failures.

Priest Marc Messien honored the couple by placing a white ribbon across both coffins. This way a symbolic marriage was established. “The marriage might not be official, but this way we acknowledged the couple’s love for each other." the priest later said. Music was played by the band originally scheduled to perform at the wedding.
