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 hope some one out there is in the industry and can hook up with Zero G Corp and bring us all Zero G tits.

    I think it would seriously sell.

    Only feminists would label telling the truth as sexist. I don't think you'll find many of them here.

    The yellow gold one at erinfinnegan[dot]com seems to be constructed similarly to my gold-and-titanium wedding ring, which was made about 20 years ago by this guy: http://jewellerydavidcruickshank.com.au/

    Dunno anything about these folks' rings, but I got my wife an engagement ring with Martian basalt in it. Thankfully she is also a nerd, and in fact studies the Moon and Mars for her research. Otherwise I don't recommend this tactic, as it's likely to get you slapped rather than engaged . . .

    Me too, and I was actually more interested in that. Does anybody know if welding has been attempted in zero-g to date?
