A wedding has long ceased to be associated with a prim and boring ceremony. Weddings were held in spy style, in the format of the Oscar ceremony, under water, in the sky... But every year the collection of unusual weddings is replenished with new stories.

Love till death

Is it possible to love each other to death? The couples discussed below have proven that this is real.

Gloomy and nuptial

On a fine autumn day, a hearse drove up to Wakefield Church. Four people in black tuxedos came out of the car, holding a coffin in their hands. They put it on the ground, opened the lid, and from there, in front of onlookers passing by, a girl jumped out.

She was dressed in a black latex dress, on her neck was a collar with sharp spikes, and on her head was a black veil with two horns. The girl's face looked deathly pale, and her eyes seemed red. The entire “funeral procession” headed to the church, taking the coffin with them.

No, this is not a description horror movie “Back from the Dead” type - this is how the wedding ceremony of Julia and Kevin, a couple of Goth lovers, began. In front of the priest, the newlyweds swore fidelity and love to each other ( approx. - by the way, the coffin was used as an altar), and then exchanged collars with their names engraved on them.

To celebrate this gloomy and festive event, the guys went to the cemetery along with a few friends. According to the newlyweds, the “wedding” coffin is in their home; they use it instead of a coffee table.

Vampire bite

Another wedding in a gloomy mourning style was recorded in Ohio.

Just before Halloween, a hearse pulled up to the famous Cleveland haunted house (reminds me of something, doesn’t it?). Strange characters that looked like ghouls carried two coffins out of the car. Entering the house, they placed them near a makeshift altar, behind which, dressed in a priest's robe, stood Jason Voorhees ( approx. - the main maniac from the movie "Friday the 13th").

In the presence of guests who looked like ghouls and ghouls, two vampire . Holding hands, they slowly walked to the altar, simultaneously threatening the assembled guests to suck all the blood out of them. Thus began the wedding ceremony of Coney Spitznagel and Jack Holsinger.

After the couple said their vows of fidelity and Jason Voorhees declared them husband and wife, instead of the traditional exchange of rings, the newly-made spouses bit each other on the neck.

It should be noted that the heroes of this wedding are quite mature people: the bride is 41 years old, the groom is 61. They just have an excellent sense of humor, which is why they decided to have a wedding in an ominous vampire style.

Coney and Jack also love to be the center of attention. Therefore, they wanted to share their joy not only with friends and relatives, but also with everyone who wanted to come to their wedding.

To this end, a few days before the ceremony, they hung posters around the city describing the wedding scenario itself and a note: “Admission is free, everyone is welcome.” Need I say that this holiday of lovers was a full house?

On high

They say marriages are made in heaven, which is why some couples make the old saying come true.

On the wings of Love

So, Sali and Jake from America got married while cutting through the clouds. During the ceremony, the bride and groom were strapped to the wings of a single-engine plane, and the priest was strapped to the outside of the cabin.

After the cry of the priest (who, by the way, had Fear of heights ) “And now I pronounce you husband and wife,” the extreme couple flew in this position for a few more minutes, and the plane landed.

The newly-made spouses were finally able to exchange rings, kiss, and the priest was able to restore “mental balance” with the help of ammonia.

Lost in space

Noah Fulmore and Erin Finnegan also got married in the air, and even in zero gravity. These two people, passionate about space, had such a dream. They didn’t succeed in becoming space tourists, but they found a way out of the situation.

On the appointed wedding day, the bride, groom, priest and pilot boarded a special Boeing 727 Zero-G airliner and took off into the skies over Florida. To make Fulmore and Erin feel like they were in space orbit, the pilot gained the required altitude and then sharply slowed down.

A state of weightlessness arose, although only for about 10 seconds. But Fulmore and Erin claim that this was enough time for them to say to each other in front of the priest: “Yes, we agree.”

Earth in the porthole

Another wedding spotted in aerospace took place on August 11, 2003. On this significant day, ISS commander Yuri Malenchenko and an American of Russian origin, Ekaterina Dmitrieva, decided to tie the knot of Hymen.

True, the newlyweds were separated by a serious distance - 380 thousand kilometers. The bride was in Texas at that time, and the groom was in orbit. The ceremony took place via teleconference. The lovers exchanged vows and pretended to put rings on each other.

True, Yuri had to spend his wedding night in orbit surrounded by stars (which in this case is not at all romantic). Meanwhile, the newly-made wife was having fun as best she could, giving interviews to journalists and posing for photographers hugging a cardboard figure of her husband.

Wedding at work

The man admitted that he loved himself so much and was inflamed with feelings for himself that he was not ready to share himself with anyone else. Surprisingly, he received the blessing of his parents to conclude this union.

The wedding ceremony itself, I must say, took place according to all the rules. Liu Ye arrived at the church with a picture of himself in a bride's dress, took an oath at the altar, and exchanged rings with himself. And at the party, they say, he even threw the bride’s bouquet.

The monks read prayers for about an hour, which were supposed to unite two souls into a lasting union. Local residents admitted to newspapermen that they were very happy about this marriage, because it should bring good luck to families, health to children and a good harvest.

Bimbela has been living with her husband for a month now, and he lives in her garden. The woman says that they have a trusting relationship, because when she puts a bowl of milk in front of the snake, it always crawls and drinks it. The main thing is that a newly-made wife should not nag her husband, otherwise he might kill.

In the underwater kingdom of passion

Unlike Bimbela, millionaire from London Sharon Tandler found her betrothed in the person of a cute and safe dolphin. Sharon fell in love with Sandy (that's the dolphin's name) 15 years ago when she came to Eilat to go diving. There they met near one of the underwater reefs.

The press loves to talk about unusual or even stupid events. Weddings are of particular interest. After all, every girl dreams that her wedding will become the most unusual and bright and the whole world will know about it. This is what pushes newlyweds to very unusual weddings. Below we will tell you about the most unusual weddings that have taken place recently.

Chinese Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang got married in Chongqing. Their wedding was surrounded by a huge number of red roses. There were 99,999 noble flowers in the ceremony. To buy such a number of roses, the groom was forced to spend everything he had earned over the previous year. To deliver this number of flowers to the park, 30 vehicles were hired. This number of roses at the wedding was not chosen by chance. The fact is that the number 99999 in Asia is considered very lucky, so the couple believes that it will bring good luck to their marriage.

They say that in the life of any woman there are only two important things - love and shoes. American Lisa Satayut decided to combine these two components of her happiness. She married Drew Ellis in an unusual location. The wedding took place at the T.J.Maxx shoe store in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. The newlyweds pronounced their wedding vows in the discount department. The bride believes this is her happy place. Lisa began visiting T.J. Maxx since the age of seven, her mother brought her there. When a woman died 7 years ago, the girl thought that a wedding in a shoe store would help her get closer to her mother. This is how the young husband spoke about choosing a place for the wedding.

The key to an unusual wedding can be the original outfits of the newlyweds. Chinese beekeepers Li Wenhua and Yan Gongxia decided to reflect the specifics of their profession in their wedding costumes. Each of them wore a costume consisting of ten thousand bees for the wedding. The couple has been dealing with honey insects for over 20 years, so they couldn't hold their wedding without them. The bride and groom decided that the swarm should hum melodiously throughout the ceremony. To do this, the young ones each took a queen bee, this attracted the rest of the swarm and created such unusual wedding dresses.

Americans Michael Curry and April Pignataro decided to have their wedding underwater. The ceremony took place not in an ordinary pool, but in a real aquarium. Menacing sharks swam alongside people, and the action took place in Riverhead, New York. The bride was all in white, as expected. However, instead of a dress, she used a wetsuit. Not only sharks, but also eels and other fish became witnesses and guests at the wedding. The people invited to the ceremony preferred to watch it from behind the glass. At the end of the performance, the bride herself said: “My old dream has come true. After all, we both love adventure and dive constantly.” But the wedding also had its inconveniences. So, April's hair had to be redone several times. After all, not even the most resistant styling can withstand immersion in water. But the makeup remained unchanged, because the bride was immersed in the water wearing a mask.

On September 9, 1999, a real wedding boom took place in Asia. The fact is that they adore everything that includes the number nine. That is why on such a happy day many couples decided to get married. In one of the temples in Kuala Lumpur they simply organized a mass wedding ceremony. At the same time, several hundred people got married at once.

An original wedding may also be preceded by an unusual marriage proposal. Jason Kahle was able to surprise his girlfriend Alisha Decker. On August 21, 2009, he invited her to take a flight on a private jet. As the couple flew through an agricultural farm, he showed her a field where five-metre plastic letters read “Alisha, will you marry me?” The girl, touched by this act, immediately accepted the offer.

That same year, Noah Fulmore and Erin Finnegan celebrated their wedding far from Earth, in zero gravity. The newlyweds rose several kilometers above the Gulf of Mexico. They even had to kiss upside down. After all, it is quite difficult to take a normal position in an unusual state of weightlessness. This unusual event was organized for the newlyweds by the Zero-G company. Its name stands for zero-gravity, or “weightlessness.” A company spokeswoman said that the event went off without any problems. At first, the whole action was rehearsed on Earth. As a result, the couple assumed that they were waiting in zero gravity, and besides, they had trained company personnel next to them. If there were any problems with the wedding, they would immediately come to the rescue. A specially equipped Boeing 727 was used for the ceremony. He flew in a parabolic arc, creating a feeling of weightlessness inside. This is the same situation where everything was literally turned upside down, but, fortunately, no one got seasick. The news about the unusual wedding made several hundred more want to repeat the same event. The company generally provides a whole range of various services, and its prices range from 18 to 168 thousand dollars.

There is a “Chapel of Love” in one of the Minnesota supermarkets. When she celebrated her 15th birthday, the ministers promised to marry for free those 15 couples who agreed to make their ceremony even more unusual. The wedding was supposed to take place on a roller coaster located right in the complex. On April 15, 2009, 15 newlyweds exchanged not only solemn vows, but also their first joint cries. To keep their dresses from fluttering on the track, brides had to remove their veils and tuck in their voluminous dresses.

NASCAR driver Kyle Busch once offered his services as best man to a young couple, Damon and Heather Landry. On February 27, 2009, the racer-best man drove the newlyweds to Las Vegas, gave them rings at the altar and was one of the first to wish them happy family life. Immediately after this, Busch headed to auto racing, where he scored his first victory that season.

Valentine's Day is a great time to get married. It was on this day that the Thai man Kunanan Jantri took his bride and jumped off a cliff with her. However, the tragedy did not happen, because Jantri had a safety rope. The fact is that in Thailand, jumping from a cliff on February 14 is considered a good tradition.

Another couple chose the same day for their wedding, but for different reasons. 72-year-old Mosel Wales married 66-year-old Gina Kincheloe. Surprisingly, they got married in a funeral home in Twin Falls, Idaho. And such an unusual place was not chosen by chance. A year before, the future spouses met, finding themselves in the same group psychological assistance. They were in therapy together after their longtime spouses died.

A German couple, Anita Bolick and Klaus Grünenberg, gave their guests an icy welcome at their wedding. And the point is not at all in the disgusting character of the spouses. In January 2009, they got married in a chapel that was made entirely of ice. This happened in the Austrian ski resort of Kitzbühel. The original chapel was built by the future husband himself. It took him four days to do everything. But he promised that other couples could hold similar ceremonies in this place. However, those wishing to get married in an icy environment should understand that in the spring it will simply melt.

It turns out that weddings can be a very humane event. This is exactly what happened on December 8, 2008. Then 14 prisoners were immediately released from one Manila prison.
