Afterworld Wedding
Afterworld
Wedding or Ghost Marriage according to some Chinese beliefs is a marriage
between a man and a woman who are already dead. This is a true life account of a person's experience of the event.
Boon Hock
lives in Kuala Kangsar with his wife, three kids and his mother in Perak. One
night he was startled and woke up from a dream about his younger brother. In
that dream, Ah Tee (his younger brother) informed him that he wants to get
married except his brother was already dead. Ah Tee was killed in a car accident 5 years ago!
When Boon
Hock was busy trying to eat his breakfast the next morning, his mother informed
him she had a dream about Ah Tee (her youngest son) with the similar message,
that he wants to get married. The dead girl who passed away from an illness
was from Seremban in Negeri Sembilan. His mother’s dream was similar to Boon
Hock’s!
During work,
Boon Hock was bothered about their dreams and finally when he got home, he and
his wife told his mother that he got the same dream last night. His mother
suggested they seek advice from a medium at the nearby temple. The medium
confirm that At Tee had fallen in love to a girl from Seremban from the
otherworld and wants to marry her.
Although
Boon Hock was only a fish monger at the local market, he desperately begged, borrowed from his relatives and friends to come out the money. They even got the
deceased girl’s parents consent for the marriage. When they finally succeeded
they held an elaborate marriage wedding for his brother in Boon Hock’s house.
It was a typical marriage rite with the girl’s parents and some of the relatives.
