The couple who got married on a Bung-jump platform – and obviously jumped after saying yes
Jeroen and Sandra Kippers of Brussels,
Belgium,
were lifted on a platform by crane up 160 feet in the air for their
wedding ceremony. They were joined by the officiant and about 20 guests.
Another platform held the musicians. After the vows, they made it
official by bungee-jumping over the side! The company behind the nutty
nuptials – Marriage In The Sky – have been inundated with requests from
couples desperate to fling themselves off the end of the aisle.
But
the ultimate thrill-seekers' wedding doesn't have to end there – once
the wedding party have all been lowered back to earth, guests can head
skywards again – for a floating reception. Wedding guests are wowed with
a three-course wedding
breakfast – all while strapped in to the
dining chairs. The cost for such a spectacular ceremony? Around £25,000.

bagging her beau. Explaining that T.J. Maxx is her “happy place,”
Satayut married Drew Ellis in the size 8 shoe aisle of a T.J. Maxx store
in Mt. Pleasant, Mich. The bride — a self-proclaimed “'Maxxinista” —
wore a strapless white chiffon gown, with long black gloves and bright
green gladiator-style sandals. A widened aisle, vine-covered arch and
white chairs with red bows highlighted the traditional ceremony that

who stopped bargain hunting long enough to watch.

The groom who decorated his wedding with 99,999 roses to surprise his bride
Groom Xiao Wang spent a year's salary on buying 99,999 red roses for his bride, Xiao Liu, for their wedding conducted in Chongqing, central China,
where the
number 999 is considered to be a good luck omen. The couple, both 24
years old, needed 30 cars to take the flowers to the service. They
advertised on the internet
for car
owners and for helpers to stick the flowers on the vehicles. The
flowers themselves were flown in from the other side of the country. 'I
remembered that Liu loved these special roses and the idea just grew and
grew. It was worth it all just to see the look on her face when she saw
the cars,' said groom Wang. Liu who met Wang while they were at
University together added, 'I mentioned a year ago I would like a
romantic wedding; I can't believe he remembered, but it was amazing.'
The groom also donated 20% of the cost of the roses to charity to get even more good luck.
The woman who married her dead fiancé in the morgue
A heartbroken mother decided to "marry" her murdered fiancé in a
hospital morgue. Irish father-of-two Kevin Lavelle, 29, was viciously
battered with an iron bar in a gruesome gang attack while working away
from home to raise money for his wedding to fiancée Michelle Thomas. The
caring dad was attacked by nine louts and beaten to death as he
returned to his lodgings in Banbury, Oxfordshire. But even death could
not keep him and Michelle apart.
Despite her unbearable pain,
Michelle organised a "wedding" in the morgue of Oxford's John Radcliffe
Hospital, where Kevin lay dead. The touching ceremony - witnessed by
close family and friends - was conducted by the hospital's Catholic
priest who administered the last rites to Kevin. In front of an open
coffin, the priest blessed the wedding rings that Michelle had bought
specially for the service. Their two children, James, now five, and
Megan, now four, went to their daddy's funeral wearing the clothes they
would have worn to their parents' wedding. The priest asked Michelle if
she would have taken Kevin to be her "lawful wedded husband" and she
replied "I do." Kevin's dad Paddy placed a ring on Michelle's finger and
a ring was placed on Kevin's finger as he lay in the coffin.
The couple who got married inside a shark tank
April Pignataro and Michael Curry of New York City got married in June
2010. The bride wore a white wetsuit and the groom wore a traditional
black wetsuit as they climbed inside a 120,000 gallon shark tank to take
their vows at Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead, N.Y. Both are
experienced divers and were protected by a cage as sand sharks, nurse
sharks, eels and a giant grouper circled around. They wore scuba gear
and mikes that broadcasted their words to each other, as well as to
friends and family. They said their “I dos” over a radio transmitter
with an officiant who did not get in the tank.

A couple of bicycle lovers decided to tie the knot in a very unusual but

course by their cyclist guests.
The bride who had 110 bridesmaids and set a World Record
Did you know that there's a Guinness World Record for the most
bridesmaids in a wedding? One bride from Proctorville, Ohio, broke the record with more than 100 bridesmaids
at her June 11, 2010 wedding. Jill Stapleton, who owns Jill's Tumble
World, a dance school, asked her students -- all 110 of them -- to be
her bridesmaids and walk down the aisle at her wedding. The bride asked
each girl to choose her own dress for the wedding in either purple or
teal, the school's colors. In lieu of
bridesmaid bouquets, each bridesmaid carried a single rose. The previous record for the most bridesmaids in a wedding was 90.
