The term ‘Wedding’ itself has no concrete definition. While some say it is a day where two lovers make their celestial bond official, a few others might feel it is an event that one organizes and pays for while others rejoice and dance away.
Truly, weddingsare constantly evolving into more customized and more subjective experiences. And perhaps this is the reason why different people across the world are opting for some crazy and unique ways to celebrate their special day.
Here’s our handpicked selection of few whacky weddings from around the globe-
Oregon Weed Bar Wedding
An interesting fact about living in Oregon is that the consumption of weed is permitted in small amounts. And basis this law, couple John Elledge and Whitney Alexander decided to give their guests a ‘mind altering’ experienceby setting up a weed tent.
Alongside the open bar,the wedding celebration saw a weed tent and a ‘budtender’ to help guests in need of a little guidance. The celebrations saw 13 different varieties of pot being served to the guests. A special wedding planner from Lake Oswego's Bridal Bliss was brought on board to help with the legal proceedings and the couple also made special arrangements of safety transportation on their way back for the guests.
The photographer claimed that she got the best candid photographs of the guests from the party. And the photos served as great memorabilia for those who couldn’t remember much from the wedding.
Superheroes Wedding in England
Every kid dreams of being a superhero but sadly life unfolds different plans for us doesn’t it. However, bride SharinWetherwell wasn’t willing to let go of her childhood dream so easily and therefore decided to have a superhero wedding to celebrate her special day.
Sharindressed up as Wonder Woman and married her groom who wore a Batman costumeat their wedding. The guests of the wedding too followed the Superhero theme and even the families of the couple went along with the theme dressing as The Incredibles, Lara Croft and Iron Man. Interestingly Joker was in attendance too, but did not create any trouble.
Wing WalkWedding
Yes, being in love does gives wings to a lot of people but can you imagine getting married on top of the wings of two planes, 1,000 feet above the ground? Well, the adventurous couple Darren McWalters, and his bride Katie Hodgson had an unimaginable wedding strapped to the top wing of a biplane where Darren proclaimed his love to Katie who flew alongside on the wing of an identical aircraft.
With the couples dressed in the traditional wedding attires, the ceremony was made official as the reverend flew ahead on the wings of a third aircraft and married the couple via an airborne communications system.
The ceremony, previously delayed twice due to bad weather, had speakers throughout RFC Rendcomb Airfield, to communicate the congregation on the ground.
LA Underwater Wedding with Sharks
Most couples are on the lookout for exotic locations on the world map where they can have their dream wedding. Kym Dabney and Devon Brignoni were just another unique couple whose idea of a dream wedding was to haveit underwater, with sharks as attendees.
The couple decided to have this unique wedding just because of the grooms love for ocean life and hence a team at the 120,000-gallon Lost City of Atlantis Shark Exhibit was hired to execute the challenging wedding. Even though the ‘environmental conditions’ left little room for choice, the adventurous couple refused to compromise on their outfits and wore regular elaborate wedding attires.
Surprise In-flight Wedding in Rhodes
Why book a venue for your wedding when you can get married mid- air? Sounds intriguing doesn’t it?
Alexander entered a Valentine’s Day contest by Thomas Cook and was selected from 25 entries. Just after takeoff, he dropped on one knee, and proposed at 30,000 feet to Marieke van De Wal. The bride got her makeup done in the flight attendant galley while crew members hung flowers from the overhead bins.
De Wal walked down the tiny aisle and was brought to tears as she discovered that her family and friends were hidden at the back of the plane.
