A wedding ceremony is a special celebration for two lovers, permeated with traditions and ceremonies characteristic of a particular country or nationality. But, despite this, unusual weddings are now becoming increasingly popular. They represent a departure from the traditional wedding ceremony, which requires lovers' imagination, courage and organizational abilities. Consider what unusual weddings were organized in the world, we will also provide photos of some celebrations.
Weddings on top
One of the most unusual weddings was the marriage of a couple from the Netherlands who are keen on rojumping. According to the idea of Perun and Santa, all the guests of the ceremony, the priest and the musicians were raised on the platform to a height of more than fifty meters. Then the lovers made vows and made a leap. It is worth noting that all safety regulations have been observed.
Another pair of height lovers are Americans Noah and Erin. They have long dreamed of a wedding ceremony in zero gravity. On the appointed day, lovers boarded the Boeing 727, where NASA astronauts train. An experienced pilot of the aircraft began to move along a parabolic arc, due to which zero gravity conditions were created on board. At this time, with the help of the aircraft team, the young men swore oaths and exchanged rings.
Another extreme British couple - Darren and Katie - got married at an altitude of about three hundred meters. To realize this bold idea, lovers rented biplanes, to the wings of which they were attached by ropes. The ceremony was held by a brave priest, George Bringham. It is worth noting that the exchange of rings and banquet the newlyweds had to spend on the ground.
Gothic weddings
The most gorgeous unusual wedding in the Gothic style was the marriage of the famous rock singer Marilyn Manson and the performer of the burlesque show - Dita von Teese. The venue for the outrageous ceremony was a medieval castle in Ireland. All guests, including many celebrities, were in costumes of the XIX century. The bride during the ceremony several times changed the images and outfits. And after the ceremonial part, the guests had fun hunting, dancing and music.
A little more modestly celebrated the wedding ceremony of the British - Kevin and Julia. As planned by the newlyweds, they were to be delivered to the church in a coffin, at which a ceremony was subsequently held. The lovers were dressed in the Gothic style. On the bride - a black latex dress, on the groom - a tuxedo. After pronouncing the solemn oath, the young exchanged collars.
Naked weddings
Currently, the so-called naked weddings are becoming increasingly popular among original and unusual weddings. In such cases, only insignificant details of clothes and, in some cases, body art are present on lovers.
The newlyweds explain their desire to conduct a wedding ceremony in this form by their reluctance to take anything old into a new life.
The first couple mentioned in the media, decided on such an extraordinary ceremony, was a pair of Australians - Phil and Ella. It is worth noting that the wedding took place in front of more than two hundred invited guests. The bride’s costume consisted of a snow-white veil and a bouquet of roses, and the groom’s outfit included only a black top hat.
Weddings at work
Some couples prefer to organize a wedding ceremony in the place where they met. Often it coincides with the place of work of one of the spouses. This happened with the American couple - Drew and Lisa. The story of the acquaintance of the future spouses began with the decision of Lisa to go shopping at the TJ Maxx store, where she met Drew. The newlyweds decided to hold the solemn ceremony in the discount department, because, according to the bride, this is her happy place.
Another young couple - the Americans Jay and Sarah - decided to get married right at the workplace. They worked as administrator and cashier at the McDonald's fast food restaurant. Here, by the decision of the lovers, the whole ceremony was held. As a gift to the newlyweds, the restaurant administration provided food and drinks at the expense of the establishment.
An unusual wedding was arranged by Chinese lovers - Jiang and Tai. The fact is that this couple has been engaged in industrial mountaineering for several years. Therefore, it was decided to make vows and exchange rings, being right at the workplace, namely, going down on safety cables from one of the tallest buildings in China. This original wedding ceremony took place in front of amazed guests and residents of the city.
Famous Weddings
Themed weddings based on famous books, films and TV shows require serious preparation. It is necessary to notify guests, to think over all the details and paraphernalia from the place of the ceremony to the table setting.
One of the most popular topics is a wedding ceremony based on Lewis Carroll's fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland." The most memorable wedding on this topic was the marriage of the famous musician Pete Wentz from the band Fall Out Boy and pop singer and actress Ashley Simpson. The whole ceremony was held in the house of the bride's parents, which the wedding organizers decorated in red and black colors. Guests, including many celebrities, were appropriately dressed. The banquet itself consisted of bottles and plates with the words "drink me!" and "eat me!". Snacks were made in the form of playing cards, and the chairs of the newlyweds - in the form of huge hearts of red velvet.
Wedding ceremonies based on Harry Potter books are also very popular. For example, a couple of Americans - Cassie and Lewis - spent a lot of time finding a place reminiscent of Hogwarts. As a result, the hotel lobby was the most suitable, in which the ceremony was held. Newlyweds arranged a memorable photo shoot using various attributes and waving magic wands.
Weddings under water
How unusual is the wedding? Underwater weddings are currently one of the popular ideas. For example, a couple of Britons - Gavin and Helen - held a ceremony right in a large aquarium. They carefully prepared for the celebration. Wetsuits in the form of a white dress of the bride and a black tuxedo for the groom were tailored for this occasion. Guests and the priest watched the ceremony from across the aquarium.
