Nowadays, it has to be said that the majority of people get married in a church, a registry office or perhaps in a hotel. Well, not the under mentioned couple who are, to say the least, obviously not averse to taking a risk.
Ryan Jenks and Kimberly Weglin come from California and decided to get married on a colouful net that was spread over a canyon some 400 feet off the ground. There was also an aisle of netting to get over to the main net. Not bad going for a lady who used to be scared of heights. Interestingly, they also got engaged on a similar net. She was wearing a beautiful traditional wedding dress with a long veil and he was suited and booted making them the perfect couple.
Bearing in mind that they both participate in highlining that involves walking across a tightrope that is spread between a couple of mountains thus involving a great deal of danger they were probably not all that concerned about the risk involved for the unusual but spectacular location for their wedding ceremony.
However, it was not only the bride and groom who enjoyed an adventurous day out as many of the guests certainly played, shall we say, an active part in proceedings. For instance, a number of people took to the air in paragliders and flew over the net and there were several base jumpers who jumped from the edge of the cliff and released in the
region of 5,000 flower petals that no doubt helped create a romantic scene.
We cannot help but wander where Ryan and Kimberly will be planning to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. Presumably, it will not be anywhere mundane. We would just like to take this opportunity to wish this adventurous couple a lifetime of happiness.
