OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska couple has chosen an unusual venue for their wedding.
Janyl Jumadinova (juh-mah-DEEN’-oh-vah) and Oliver Bonham-Carter exchanged vows Saturday in Forest Lawn Cemetery. The ceremony took place in a 101-year-old chapel designed by an Omaha architect who helped design Joslyn Castle and the Joslyn Art Museum.
The bride is from Kyrgyzstan (KEER’-gih-stan) and holds a firm belief in spirits. Some of the groom’s ancestors are buried in the cemetery.
The couple married earlier this year in a small ceremony in Pennsylvania. They wanted to hold another ceremony so friends and family could bear witness.
Relatives of the couple traveled over 6,000 miles to attend.
