A Marriage Made in Heaven…

I wish I had a euro for every bride I’ve heard say I want something different – and yet time and again the tried and tested beef and salmon turn up on the menu, and despite a lone chocolate fountain bubbling in the corner, things are pretty much kept very traditional.

Well, for the daredevils amongst you, here is a wedding idea that won’t be forgotten by your guests and will make a great story for the kids someday.

Back in April, Dinner in the Sky came to Dublin and twenty 2FM listeners had the chance to dine al fresco 150 feet above the city.  Well, the same team from Belgium are now offering Marriage in the Sky where you can actually tie the knot mid-air:

Marriage in the Sky is hosted on a platform, where 20 guests are strapped in an aircraft seat, suspended at a height of 50 metres by a team of professionals. Marriage in the Sky may include a second crane with a platform (or more if required) at the same height as the marriage platform, for entertainment such as music or dinner.

And for the truly dramatic couple, you can finish the ceremony with a double bungee jump as you take the plunge into married life together:

Not for the faint hearted!
