My auntie passed a way a couple of weeks ago, so my family decided to have a "double do" combining both the upcoming wedding of my brother and the funeral. The priest will alternate between reading his funeral prayers and joining the happy, but bereaved couple. After the newly weds kiss they will then pay their respects to the open coffin.
We're doing this because auntie really did have her heart on set on being present at the wedding. This way everybody goes home with a bittersweet taste in their mouths, lessening the depressing unpleasantness of the funeral with the hope of newlyweds. Conversely, we're also lessening the mawkish outpouring of joy for the happy couple with a newlydead.
People will invariably shed tears at this event, but no one will know whether they're tears of sadness or joy.
Is this a good idea? Personally, I'm quite intrigued by the whole scenario.

The wedding hearse will then take the happy couple and the coffin to the crematorium which will also stage the night do.
Can I just say, you're all f*cking idiots.

Wow ! great idea, my family always has a good "wake" party after the funeral, and usually it's fun. Your auntie wanted to be there, well, celebrate her life too, make it an occasion.

Ok, seriously your family has issues! This is going to ruin the brides wedding day!
Seriously women dream about this dayfrom the time they are little girls. If it were me I would have issues saying "I Do" with my husbands dead aunt there. No offense or anything but seriously?
You will not only have your family but her family there don't you think that would be a little uncomfortable for them?
