A groom in Heraklion, Crete, caused surprise and sensation when he arrived at the church for his wedding in a hearse. The groom, dressed in traditional Cretan attire, was accompanied by musical instruments, as dictated by local custom. The arrival by hearse caused embarrassment and astonishment to the guests, but the groom jokingly explained that he wanted to "bury" his bachelor life. The event was captured in a video and posted on TikTok, where it quickly went viral, gathering numerous comments and reactions. This original move by the groom is a particular expression of Cretan culture and traditions, where the use of symbolism and a sense of humor are often present in important life moments. However, this particular case went beyond the ordinary and gained widespread recognition.
