Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams is a lucky guy.

We can't imagine many people get to marry their love of zombies and their love of their life on one special day.

The 33-year-old former Pro Bowler and massive fan of "The Walking Dead" convinced his entire bridal party — and his bride-to-be — to dress like zombies on his wedding day ... full-on makeup, blood, guts and all, caught on tape by the folks at ESPN.

You'll enjoy this even if you're not a fan of @TheWalkingDead (and hey maybe they'll have me on the show now)...https://t.co/kMafweVH1q

Williams told ESPN that he had wanted to do the engagement photos "Walking Dead" style. But there was no time during the NFL season.

So the plans lurched forward to the big day itself. And the wedding party sunk their teeth into their roles with gusto.

"It is a dream come true. It is unbelievable," Williams told ESPN. "And what makes it even more magical was not only did I become a Walker, but I became a husband and inherited a beautiful wife."
