Weddings
are a chance to show the world your love in a totally unique way - but one
couple have taken their individuality to the extreme. These pictures show the
official portraits of their big day as they pose -with a coffin.
But
Jenny Tay, 29, and Darren Cheng, 30, who both work as undertakers, say that the
concept of death is as important to them as ever, even when it comes to saying
'I do'.
Jenny, who is a Buddhist, told the Straits Times: "When couples
take wedding pictures, many of them think of something significant and meaningful
to them - their favourite cafe, the place where they first met. "Both of
us are very passionate about our jobs, so I thought, why not?" She also
said that she was keen for people to become more comfortable with death, as the
daughter of a renowned undertaker who often hosts funerals for murder victims
and those who die in poverty. The images were snapped in a park in Punggol,
Singapore - one of many unusual shoots to have been organised by newly-married
couples in recent times.
Jenny
and her husband were keen for it to be "pretty and whimsical" so they
eschewed the idea of setting it in a graveyard. Darren has even written a
children's book about death, Where Did Grandpa Go, because it is part of life.
The happy couple got photographer Joel Lim on board, and he was game. "When
she told me about it, I thought it was different, very cool. That's the reason
I took the project."
