Romance in the afterlife

This is the seventh month of the Lunar calendar, so tales are aplenty in the Chinese community, pertaining to the afterlife, and some could be quite bizarre, believe me.

As a child, I have heard of my grandmother telling about a couple getting married. What is unusual about it is that the two getting married were actually deceased. You might be interested to note that this is not an isolated case as this kind of event does happen in the Taoist/Buddhist society.

Recently, a family up north went through such a ritual.
