The groom tied the knot to his partner, Joyce, with footage of his crafty arrival shared via social media.
'My pal who is a gravedigger, getting married in Gorey, Co Wexford,' a wedding attendee shared to TikTok, with a number of people taking to the comments to express their appreciation at the humour.

'Irish sense of humour is unbeaten,' one person wrote, with another adding: 'No stop that's too funny, this sense of humour is life! They're all dying to get a look at that.'
A third commended: 'That's class no one would ever be able to top that arrival.'
Others joked that the funeral was more than just a bit of craic about Mick's job, but was his way of lamenting the end of single life.
'I love it, it's the funeral of a single man who now has a newer life,' someone wrote.
Another TikTok user added: 'That was an entrance with a difference, only the Irish would come up with something like that.'
It comes not long after a couple shared a glimpse inside their Galway city wedding last month which was branded 'the most glamorous wedding' the city ever saw.
Alex and Teresa Burke celebrated their big day, with their own show-stopping entrance turning heads across Galway.
The young couple arrived to their ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage, followed by a fleet of four sleek Bentley limousines.
The loved-up couple are said to have enjoyed a private boat tour as part of their post-ceremony celebrations before rejoining their guests to party the night away.

Influential Irish documentarian George Morrison dies aged 102
Influential Irish documentarian George Morrison has died aged 102. Morrison was best known for his celebrated 1959 work Mise Éire, which premiered that year at the Cork Film Festival. The documentary, produced by Gael Linn and scored by Seán Ó Riada, dealt with key figures and events in Irish nationalism between the 1890s and 1910s. The title itself was taken from a 1912 poem by Republican revolutionary Patrick Pearse. Morrison's work on Mise Éire was painstaking, and involved the identification, salvage, and restoration of more than 300,000 feet of newsreel and other footage. The documentary, the first full feature-length film produced in Irish, was constructed from archival footage, a now common technique which was groundbreaking at the time. Morrison's follow-up documentary, Saoirse?, which charts the lead-up to the 1916 Easter Rising and the War of Independence, was released in 1961. Born in Tramore in Waterford on November 3, 1922, Morrison's mother worked as an actress at Dublin's Gate Theatre. His father worked as a neurological anaesthetist. Morrison studied medicine at Trinity College Dublin, but subsequently dropped out to pursue a career in film. The first project on which he worked was an uncompleted production of Dracula. After being introduced to the founders of the Gate Theatre — Micheál Mac Liammóir and Hilton Edwards — Morrison began working on documentaries in partnership with the venue. Morrison's later documentary works included 1961's Rebellion, about Ireland from 1913 to 1923, Two Thousand Miles of Peril, released in 1972, and Dublin Day, a 2007 documentary on James Joyce's Ulysses. In 2009, Morrison received the Industry Lifetime Contribution Award at the Irish Film and Television Awards. Speaking at the time, director Neil Jordan said: "It is remarkable what George Morrison has achieved through the 1970s and 1980s with almost no support. He's done extraordinary documentary work and extraordinary work as an archivist, one of the few in Ireland who have done that, he's an inspiration to all of us." He was elected a Saoi of Aosdána in 2017 and presented with the symbol of the office of Saoi, the gold torc, by President Michael D Higgins. Morrison is predeceased by his wife, Theodora Fitzgibbon. Speaking to the Irish Examiner in 2012, Morrison said Mise Éire was the film he enjoyed making most during his career. "It combined all operations of film-making in the one structure, the archival, too. I was very pleased with that.'

Woman shows the before and afters of her eyebags using a £15 eye cream from Boots and the results are instant & AMAZING
SKIN WIN Woman shows the before and afters of her eyebags using a £15 eye cream from Boots and the results are instant & AMAZING A WOMAN has found a must-have buy that instantly makes you look like you've had eight hours of sleep. Nic, from Scotland, took to social media to show the before and after results of the skincare buy and was left stunned by how quickly it worked. Advertisement 3 Nic was left stunned by the before and after results Credit: TikTok/@nicnak88 3 She applied the cream to her eyes and it instantly got rid of her eye bags Credit: TikTok/@nicnak88 While many eye creams promise to banish eye bags and wrinkles, it can often take weeks of consistent use before you see results. But the new L'Oreal eye cream works in just minutes as Nic proved. Taking to social media, she said: "I can actually feel the skin being pulled tight on this side. I am amazed." In the clip, Nic had applied the cream under her left eye but left her right eye product-free so she could show the difference on camera. Advertisement The left eye looked much more lifted and brighter, and there were no signs of a bad night sleep. But the right eye looked much more dull and tired. She used the L'Oreal Eye Bag Instant Eraser which uses a gel to tape technology that into an invisible, flexible film that tightens and smooths the under-eye area. Nic then applied half a pea-sized amount to her right eye, dabbing the product in rather than rubbing it. Advertisement She then let it settle for 15 minutes, trying to avoid any face expressions while it dried. After just 15 minutes, the bags under her right eye disappeared and her eye looked lifted and brighter. 3 The new eye cream is currently just £15 at Boots Credit: TikTok/@nicnak88 Dita Von Teese, 51, reveals how she's kept her skin wrinkle-free as fans are convinced she 'looks 30' "I am blown away. I have never seen an eye product work that fast in front of my eyes ever," she said. Advertisement "Outstandingly good. Unbelievable. Look, if you've got like fine lines, bags, rough, saggy skin and your eyes bother you, try it. Run." The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @nicnak88 with over 650k views and 5k likes. The eye cream is currently on sale at Boots for just £15, and customers raved about the product in the review section. One person wrote: "Bought this yesterday to see if was worth the hype and I can say yes! It is, I have a horrible eye bag that never goes away regardless of what I use and it went away within 15 minutes!" Advertisement Another commented: "I was amazed! Applied over makeup you feel a warmth then a tightness which lasts until you remove it." "Absolutely amazing, this is a game changer. I've suffered with eye bags for years, tried many products but this is now my lifeline, it's given me so much more confidence," penned a third. How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings. She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with. 'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us. 'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.' It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing. Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel. Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing. Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I applied over my makeup and tried not to have any facial expressions for 15 minutes. The smooth effect lasted a full 12 hours with no wrinkles. One very happy 64-year-old." "This is a miracle cream it works if you follow the instructions absolutely love it, it really did improve my lines and it works on my mum who's in her 70's,' claimed a fifth Advertisement Someone else added: "In 15 minutes my eyes looked fresh and younger. No sagging! I am stunned how incredible the results are."
