Groom Chokes to Death on Bride's Finger Nail

TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian bridegroom bit off more than he could chew when, according to custom, he licked honey from his bride's finger during their marriage ceremony and choked to death on one of her false nails.

The Jam-e Jam newspaper said on Wednesday the 28-year-old groom died on the spot in the northwestern city of Qazvin while the bride was rushed to hospital after fainting from shock.

Iranian couples lick honey from each other's fingers when they get married so that their life together starts sweetly.

<< Dwarin award? Seriously though, that sucks. >>



I wouldn't call that a Darwin award, I'd just call it a completely unfortunate accident. That bride has GOT to feel bad. :(

At least she'd be choking on something a little smaller. :p;)

(I know, I should show respect for the dead, but couldn't resist)

If that was America, there'd already be a lawsuit in the works against the poor lady who installed the false nails.

And if it were in Taliban controlled Afghanistan then she would've been stoned to death.

What's your point? :disgust:

Ummmm, ok. That Heimlich maneuver more of a stimulating massage technique?

Since this is Iran, the groom's family will probably blame the bride-to-be and force her to be their live-in slave while they beat and mistreat her.

I realize that the heimlich maneuver will stop choking. I've simply never heard of anyone dying by choking beofre. Msot people seem to know the heimlich maneuver, therefore, noone dies of choking.
