The couple exchanged their vows at the Brunner Sanden Deitrick Funeral Home & Cremation Center in Mentor, Ohio, which has been run by Chelsea’s family for years. When her father suggested holding the wedding there, she and her husband to be loved the idea, but they did get some resistance.

Chelsea said “We really didn’t think of it as weird, for our mindset, because we deal with death all the time. It’s the family business,” Chelsea said. “But talking to other people about it, like friends and Barry’s family, they were a little weirded out by the idea. They were a little skeptical, thinking, ‘How is this going to work? Are there going to be dead bodies everywhere?'”

On his part the groom felt the funeral was a great place to have the wedding as his family did not mind.

For the Lesnicks, getting hitched at a funeral home made for a “perfect day,” despite the offbeat setting.
