A Mexican couple has sparked fury after holding a Nazi-style wedding honoring Adolph Hitler.
Fernando and Josefina chose to tie the knot at a church in the state of Tlaxcala east of Mexico's capital on April 29, the anniversary of Hitler's marriage to Eva Braun.
The German dictator committed suicide the very next day in 1945.
Fernando and his three groomsmen were decked out in a replica suit of the Schutzstaffel, a paramilitary unit that served the Nazis while Josefina wore a white gown.
'If we had not found a mass for today, we would have gotten married next year,' the groom told Mexican news outlet Milenio.

They tied the knot for the second since 2016, when they did in a civil ceremony. That wedding was also held on the same date, which marked the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's own wedding
The theme wedding was condemned by Simon Wiesenthal Center in a statement.
'Our institution strongly condemns the distortion and trivialization of the memory of six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and contempt by those who deny or obfuscate history, as also all those who took part of this Nazi wedding or authorized it,' said Dr. Ariel Gelblung, director for the center's Latin America branch.
'Mexico must adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Definition of Antisemitism and incorporate it into its legislation to prevent such hateful behavior.'
Mexico's National Council to Prevent Discrimination (CONAPRED) slammed the couple for their poor taste, indicating 'it is necessary to remember the terrible events that took place on European soil during the Holocaust, a crime without parallel in the history of humanity.'
It's the second time the couple exchanged vows, doing so via a civil ceremony on the same date in 2016.
They were met with death threats at the time after a person who attended the wedding party took to social media to share a photo of their cake, which featured a swastika.
