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."

    While alternating between zero and two G every two minutes? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. More like a continuous car crash than a quiet evening.

    You can all stop being original and go get married in a church.

    You know what'd be interesting? Going back to the way it was about 400 years ago, before the church took over what was a mutual personal vow. See, until the Counter-Reformation, you didn't need a church or anything: you said "I marry you", she said "I marry you", there, done, married, you may now bed the bride. Now seriously, your word was as good as any signed contract; that, I think, is far more beautiful and moving than any pompous ceremony.
