Strange, unique or just bizarre places to get married

These are all (allegedly) true stories about what we like to call strange, unique or just bizarre places to get married around the world.

The top of Mount Everest

Imagine receiving an invite to this wedding, what do you respond, “sorry I can’t make the trip?”
A Nepalese couple exchanged their wedding vows on top of Mount Everest, the first people ever to marry there in 2005.
They briefly removed their oxygen masks and wore plastic garlands, whilst the groom symbolically applied red powder on the bride’s forehead.
They had kept the plan secret as there was no guarantee they would reach the top of the world’s highest peak.
Arriving back in Kathmandu, the bride said it would not have been possible to meet all the religious requirements, so they did what they could with what was available.
The couple stayed on the peak for a mere 10 minutes which gave enough time for the ceremony and for friends to take photos.
There is no truth in the rumour that the bride’s 95 year old grandmother plans to renew her vows at the pinnacle herself.

A Funeral Parlour

Oh yes, a beautifully calm and happy wedding venue indeed.
A couple in the US (are you surprised to read that bit?) chose an unusual spot for their wedding – inside a funeral parlour.
Jason and Rachael Storm, both 24, decided to tie the knot at the Starks and Menchinger Family Funeral Home in Michigan, where Mr Storm is a funeral director.
The wedding reception, including dinner and dancing, also was held at the funeral home, but the couple had to reassure some guests there would be no corpses or coffins present.
What a romantic Mr Storm must be, if getting married at your place of work isn’t dull enough….!

Wedding at McDonald’s

Yes, we’re in the US again for a lovely restaurant setting for the wedding.
Fairborn, Ohio – Co-workers Tyree Henderson & Trisha Lynn Esteppe chose to exchange wedding vows at the place where they work, McDonald’s. The two met each others there 3 years before.
The wedding took place not far from the counter where customer continued to place orders, presumably no wedding cake was sold with the fries.
Esteppe stated that she could not imagine a more romantic setting for their wedding (we certainly could). A traditional wedding ceremony was performed in the establishment where a white aisle was laid on the restaurants floor.
OH MY GOD !
