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 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.

    ...is what's funny to me. Their marriage will only be legally recognized in Sosaria.
