World’s first weightless wedding takes place


This is a wedding which I wouldn’t like to opt for but nothing could stop Erin Finnegan and Noah Fulmor from New York to tie the knot in zero gravity thousands of feet above the Gulf of Mexico.

The wedding was solemnized in modified Boeing 727-200 aircraft, G-Force One which is operated by Zero Gravity Corp. I have to admit that the couple faced difficulties in exchanging wedding rings and vows along with kisses which fumbled but at the end of the day everything went well.

For this very special wedding the tuxedo tails of Fulmor had to be stiffened so that it didn’t float out of control. The ceremony was accomplished by Richard Garriott, a second- generation U.S. space traveler but with lot of fumbling and thumping as the couple and guests tried to co-ordinate their movements in a microgravity environment.
