When the Undead Wed
Britain's first double 'zombie' wedding
In a first for the UK, a double zombie wedding took place on Halloween, sponsored by forthcoming gaming sequel Left 4 Dead 2.
The boney grey hands of couples Donna Mills and Stephen Craddock, and Clare Walsh and Steven Curtis, were joined together for eternity in zombie matrimony in Manchester.
In scenes reminiscent of the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse in the
anticipated L4D2 video game, Mr and Mrs Craddock and Mr
and Mrs Curtis emerged from the ceremony to be met by their undead
congregation and a hearse carrying a L4D2 wreath.
The ‘Just Infected’ hearse transported the ‘newly-wed-undead’ to their afterlife.
To further cement their union, the couple’s vows were blessed in front of 4,000 zombie well wishers at The Printworks in the city.
The couples joined with their congregation to participate in the UK’s largest zombie parade, Zombieaid 2, which culminated in the annual Zombie Ball at the Hellfire Club also in Manchester.
The couples now plan to ‘zombie-moon’, in New Orleans, where the outbreak of L4D2 started, courtesy of Left 4 Dead 2.
