DEVOTED partner Yu Liang, 27, married his fiancee's body after she died just days before their wedding day.
Bride Zhang Jinying, 25, was clothed in her wedding dress and brought up the aisle in a flower-covered glass coffin for the service in Zhengzhou, central China.
Cosmetics saleswomen Jinying had died during an epileptic fit, but her fiance persuaded her grieving parents to go ahead with the service.
He told the Austrian Times: "I had promised her a white wedding and I wasn't going to break my word to her. I now feel like her husband."
A funeral service was held immediately after the wedding.
Now Liang plans to take the honeymoon the couple planned in Korea - taking a photo of his bride with him.
VERY SAD...

I hope he can find some kind of inner peace, how tragic, just before their wedding. I hope he can move out of this sadness like we all have to, and celebrate her life at some stage. I'm not sure this wedding should have gone ahead, as it must upset everyone around her deeply.
