COFFINS are usually
reserved for the dead – but one has played a part in a very special day for the
living.
For it was Jenny
Buckleff's vehicle of choice to transport her to meet her groom on her wedding
day.
58-year-old
Jenny Buckleff surprised guests when she showed up in a coffin adorned with a
grim reaper for her own wedding. She got married to Christopher Lockett, 51 of
Stoke-On-Trent in Wales. The ecstatic new bride had the coffin
bike driven in honour of his brother, a bike lover.
Jenny, a former parlour
worker and qualified embalmer and a current employee of BET365 - a betting
company, said. 'I just wanted to do something a little bit different! Instead
of turning up in a horse-drawn cart, I thought I'm going to turn up in a
coffin.
She said she did it because she wanted to be a different. In her words; ‘I just wanted to do
something a little bit different. Instead of turning up in a horse-drawn cart,
I thought I’m going to turn up in a coffin.” Her groom wasn’t in support at
first, but she was able to convince him to reason with her.
According to her she almost didn’t tell husband Chris but in the end she spilled the beans about three weeks before. He was a bit surprised but he said as long as she was happy he would go with the flow.
Although the pair gave lots of wedding guests a shock, they said they were pleased to have had such a talking point at the wedding.

Jenny's daughter, Jade
Meads, 27, said: 'The coffin (pictured) was a bit strange, but my mum is never
normal. I thought she was joking at first.'
