After arriving at the nice mans home , the couple is still frightened of the zombies but carry on with what they are doing , because you know - if you just lock the door behind you and dont let them inside they cant get you...
So! day of the wedding , everything is going as planned. Except the nice man isnt exactly all for the couple getting married. He would rather the woman of the couple shack up with him instead.
