First Zero-Gravity Wedding Planned

Posted by samzenpus on from the vomit-comet-nuptials dept.

Trenchcoatjedi writes "A couple from Brooklyn, NY are planning the first wedding in zero gravity. The wedding will take place June 20th aboard a parabolic flight operated by Zero G Corp and will be officiated by Richard Garriott of Ultima fame. The dress is designed by a Japanese haute couture designer and is specifically intended to be worn in zero gravity. Even the wedding rings will be made from meteorite."

    I want to hear or better yet see the first zero gravity honeymoon.

      Apparently there will be no honeymoon. The wedding has already been cancelled because the bride's father found out he is expected to shell out over $2 billion to cover the $20 million launch tickets for all the guests. That cheap bastard. I told my sister not to marry into poverty!

      I know I am doomed to sound sexist, but seriously, only a woman can think that spending 5 years salary on a 1 hour ceremony + the hell of putting entire clumps of both families together, while drinking, is a good idea.

    A zero-G wedding sounds nice at first, but the divorce will cost 100 G's.

      I actually know these two, used to play Call of Cthulhu with them.

      Anyways, I was joking with another one of their friends about this sort of thing, and he was worried that someone may puke on Richard Garriot. I replied back if that if someone did, they should say that was for Ultima IX.
