Is this morbid?

A little backstory: My uncle is dating a woman whose husband died several years ago. My uncle and her have been dating for 4 years or so, and her son just got married a few weeks ago.

She just posted wedding pictures, and one of them is of her son, dressed in his tux, posing next to his father's gravesite with a huge grin on his face. Does anyone else find this morbid?

I get wanting to include your deceased father on your wedding day...but a posed picture next to his headstone? I kind of give that one the side-eye. And especially to his mom for posting it on FB.

Re: Is this morbid?

  • I could see doing a few pictures there, but I can't imagine that any would be with a huge grin. More of expressions of taking a moment and reflecting. I also don't kniw that I would post them on FB ... That would be a but too much for me!

  • Here's one for you. My uncle and his 2nd wife got married at the cemetary, next to her parent's gravestones b/c she wanted them to be there. Yeah. NMS at all.

    Ditto. That's a bit odd.

  • I don't find it weird and not weird that it was posted on FB .  I love going to cemetaries so I guess I'm a little morbid and that's why I don't think it's weird.

    The bolded part is pretty much my thought exactly. I could completely understand wanting to capture the moment of visiting his father, but more in a reflection/emotional kind of way. In this picture, the guy was totally sitting on the ground next to his dad's headstone, with one leg crossed over the other, arm propped on his leg, with a huge giant grin.

  • Oh, and what made it even more weird? The headstone was one of those interlocking heart ones, with the other heart left blank for when she passes away!

    I could see pictures with the headstone, but not with a big goofy grin on his face.  However, I did post this picture on FB, it's my brother (in brown) and my cousin holding my parents urns.  I had them sitting at the alter.

  • So I'm still the only one who doesn't find this weird or disturbing at all.  It's just a pic and they posted it on FB...no big deal to me.
