Young bride and groom pose in coffins for 'fake cremation' in funeral-themed pre-wedding shoot

A young couple has gone viral after they posed inside a coffin for a funeral-themed pre-wedding shoot.

32-year-old Thai graphics designer Nonts Kongchaw and his partner started trending on Facebook after their pre-wedding photos were shared tens of thousands of times. 

In the sensational images Nonts can be seen wearing a silver suit in various scenes in a graveyard alongside his partner, who is wearing a long white wedding dress.

One of the images shows the pair leaning against a column tombstone behind a sign that simply reads: "Marry Me." 

Another photos shows the couple laying down inside a coffin while the woman draws a silk covering over Nonts, who is clutching a bouquet.

Another photo sees the woman visiting the man as he is cremated.

The photoshoot has caused quite a stir, with many seeing the photographs as disrespectful, and others saying they would lead to a curse being placed upon the marital bond.

One Facebook user warned: 

Seriously... Things like this have a curse.. If you know how to do it, you have to know how to fix it. Playing with invisible things like this.. It's not a toy and it's not a joke .. Otherwise, disaster occurs...
