The unusual marriage ceremony drove her guests and the internet to tears. The bride, Nan Thippharat, shared the photos of the ceremony on Facebook, which went viral. Nan wrote on her Facebook wall about her fiancé Fiat and about the ceremony:

“I dreamed of our wedding. I saw us holding hands. Rest in peace. I love you, Fiat. Please know that our dream has come true.

It was my way of paying tribute to him in this life because I know one day we will be together for eternity in the next one.

I loved him with all my heart and I couldn’t bear it when he was taken from me.
He looked splendid on his wedding day, I know he would have liked it’
