Wedding tackle: Melanie Schachner, 26, and Rene Schachner, 31, stripped off for their wedding in Feldkirchen, Austria, while guests remained clothed
The groom and not-so-blushing bride decided to strip off and get married in the nude in front of their family and friends.They walked down the aisle in a register office service in Feldkirchen, Austria, before celebrating with a reception in a nearby castle.
Melanie wore a traditional veil and white high heels. Her breasts were exposed but a flesh-coloured thong covered her nether-regions.The groom, however, remained totally nude throughout the service, using only a top hat to cover his modesty when posing for wedding pictures.
Thankfully for the couple, the registrar managed to keep her embarrassment under control and make it through the reading of the vows.
