AN afterworld marriage was conducted for a four-year-old girl who died 52 years ago, reported China Press and Sin Chew Daily.
China Press reported yesterday that the girl was identified as Chen Ya Xi while the groom was a 60-year-old ghost by the name of Zhang Ting Ping.
Chen Yue Chun, 54, the bride’s sister, said that Ya Xi came to her in a dream and stated her intention to get married.
The family then sought the help of a medium who picked the wedding date. After the wedding, a dinner was held for the newlyweds’ “friends” from the afterworld.
