Austrian couple weds in the nude

Every bride and groom expect their wedding day to be something they'll always remember. But that wasn't good enough for Melanie Schachner, 26, and Rene Schachner, 31. To ensure a thoroughly memorable experience, they decided to conduct their nuptials in the buff.

The ceremony was held in a register office service in Feldkirchen, Austria, followed by a reception in a nearby castle. Some 250 guests were invited. Only the bride and groom stripped down.

According to the Daily Mail, the bride was not entirely nude. She wore a traditional white veil, white high heels, and a flesh-colored thong.

The groom, however, was completely naked. Only when posing for wedding pictures did he cover his genitals with a top hat.

"We're not ashamed of our bodies and we wanted to do something different," Melanie remarked. "It certainly saved on a wedding dress."

Nakedism applauds this positive example of wholesome public nudity.
