Who doesnât like a wedding? Well actually many people donât but here are a few reasons why you should go anyway. Because you never know what you may find, love makes people do crazy things.
Some people are just too literal. This couple decided to take the plunge into marriage from 164 feet in the air, and even had the ceremony on a platform with 22 relatives and friends suspended along with them.
The guests were securely strapped to their chairs with tuxedos, dresses and all. The platform was slowly raised as the ceremony went on, until the entire assembly reached 164 feet in the air where Sandra Eens and Jeroen Kippers exchanged rings and took a leap of faith together. The entire wedding was done by Marriage in the Sky the same company that does Dinner in the Sky events.
We have two contenders for this one and you can decide which is more romantic.
The first comes to us from Fairborn, Ohio were co workers Tyree Henderson and Trisha Lynn Esteppe married at the McDonaldâs where they met 3 years prior. The restaurant didnât skip a beat as the wedding took place and customers came and went placing orders and eating their Big Macs. The lucky bride stated that, âshe could not imagine a more romantic setting for their weddingâ. Not sure which is worse the fact that she thought that was romantic or that they have worked there for 3 years.
Our second couple decided to tie the knot at their favorite fine dining establishment, Taco Bell. The bride and groom, Paul and Caragh Brooks wedded sitting in a booth while customers looked on. Instead of personalized mints they had hot sauce packets labeled âWill you marry me?â The saucy bride wore a $15 hot pink dress while a friend (who got ordained online) read the vows wearing a nice t-shirt. The two met online and were a step ahead as they already had the same last name. I guess thatâs a good enough reason as any to get married at Taco Bell.
Stay classy guys!
This one is kind of creepy but once you get past the makeup it is not so bad, assuming you are not terrified of clowns of course.
Roadkill Raccoon and Reddish Raddish married at the Alberta Street Clown House, their non clown names are Carol Banner and Morgan Nilsen. Naturally the bride and groom love everything clown and decided to share that with everyone. Guests dressed up as clowns and had all kinds of activities that other weddings should have. Such as mud wrestling, mini bike tricks, and of course jousts. The couple ended the ceremony with a bike parade to the reception. A little strange but seems like lots of fun (again assuming you are not terrified of clowns).
Sometimes love makes you feel sky high, apparently that wasnât enough for this couple that got married in mid air on top of several bi planes!
The activity known as âwing walkingâ was taken to another level when the British couple, 24-year-old Darren McWalters married his bride Katie Hodgson while the minister stood backwards on another plane and administered the ceremony. In total three bi planes were used, one for each person as they flew close together. All three of the participants were securely strapped complete with full tux and wedding dress. Everything was transmitted wirelessly and broadcast to the guests on the ground via a speaker system.
In a hurry to get married, then you might want to hit the road and try the hot rod wedding from Reverend Darrell Best.
The reverend turned a 1942-edition American La France fire engine into a mini chapel on wheels. The holy matrimony ride is complete with stained glass windows, pipe organ and even an altar for the special occasion. The fire engine fits everyone you need for the wedding; bride, groom, best man and maid of honor. Reverend Best charges a $200 fee plus $2 per mile for the ride and ceremony; he is located in Shelbyville Illinois. Honeymoons meanwhile are not allowed on the ride.
Who says weddings have to be pretty and fancy, how about dark and morbid? This couple took their love of the macabre and the relationship to the next level when they got married at a haunted house where they worked together.
Tina Milhoane 22 and Robert Seifer 24 married at 7 Floors of Hell in the haunted houseâs cemetery. Everyone dressed the part with the groom making his entrance in a hearse and coming out of a coffin to his beloved bride. The bride meanwhile still dressed in white with a splash of red added to mimic the character Carrie. The minister also played his part as the Grim Reaper and even read the Lordâs Prayer to the audience.
Ah sometimes marriage can be sink or swim, for some its sink, swim and scuba. But forget just getting married while you scuba dive, how about staying in an underwater hotel.
You can make it all happen at the Jules Undersea Lodge where you can make your underwater adventure come true. For a mere 1750.00 plus tax you can have this lodge all to yourself and even stay there for the honeymoon. Guests scuba dive to the underwater lodge and have plenty of room to relax with two bedrooms, dining area, kitchen and living area. The lodge is located in Key Largo Florida and is 21 feet underwater.
Looking to let your vows hang loose? Then a nudist wedding may be for you. Just think you donât have to worry about a tux or wedding dress and your wedding pictures will be very popular.
Many people do this every year from Dallas TX, to Australia, but one of the most well known places to have a nude wedding is at the Hedonism III Resort in Runaway Bay, St. Ann. On Valentineâs Day in 2003, 29 couples exchanged vows in the buff making it one of the largest nude weddings ever. The resort provides everything free of charge with a minimum four night stay. No word yet if Viagra is available as party favors.
Think marriage stinks? It certainly did for this couple who got married at the Bethel Transfer Station where the couple Rockie Graham and Dave Hart first met. Rockie Graham was recycling when she caught a dirty look from Dave and three years later they were married in this garbage dump with 250 of their closest friends. The bride wore a $7000 white dress with the dump as the picture perfect background.
The idea came from Dave who wanted to exchange vows where they originally met. Rockie stated she was âreluctantâ at first but eventually gave in to Daveâs idea. Now that is compromise, but I suppose if you are going to start a lifelong relationship in a dump you can only go up from there.
Finally we have a wedding that was a first ever.
A Nepalese couple actually got married on the peak of Mount Everest the first ever in history. Pem Dorjee and Moni Mulepati made it to the top as part of the Rotary Centennial Everest Expedition and kept their plan a secret until the last minute since they didnât know if they would make it all the way. The couple spent a mere 10 minutes at the peak and briefly took off their oxygen masks to exchange vows while friends took pictures. There have been couples in the past who have tried to make the same trip but none have been able to make it so far until now.
No. 3 reminded me somehow of a saying my Dad had: “Don’t just stand there like a penis at a wedding!” Makes me wonder about some of those nudist weddings. . .
All I can say is… WHY? BTW, the girl getting married in the McDonalds is hot. Why is she settling for that bearded loser?
@jaderaven
That would be awesome if the bride was cosplaying as Amber Sweet. “I now pronounce you Vulcan and Zydrate-*****.”
@Clarsax
My dream Comic Con wedding wouldn’t just be scifi limited. So far, I’ve already decided that my maid of honour (who will be my sister) will dress up either L or Alice Cullen (I haven’t fully decided yet. My sister has short hair. But in keeping with the tradition of making the maid of honor wear something she will hate, I decided to make my sister cosplay as either a character from Death Note or Twilight being that she hates both), allow my fiance’s best man go as a character from a fandom my fiance likes, and have the ceremony officiated by Dumbledore.
Though, being from a small but very conservative family, I might have to squeeze in a traditional ceremony a month before hand to make my older relatives and parents happy. My Comic Con wedding will be more for us and our crazy, fandom loving friends.
Speaking of fast food, my husband and I were married 11 years ago at the Arby’s we had lunch at every day in high school. They supplied all the food, so it was great!
Our wedding was at my cousin’s chalet in Gatlinburg, Tn (we live nearby) and was officiated by my friend who is a high priest of Strega. My hubby and I are both atheists, so the traditional church wedding wasn’t an option. It was UT v. Florida game day, which is a *huge* football rivalry, and we had to have a pre-wedding football party! The men wore bright orange UT button-down shirts, I wore a renaissance style dress that I made. It was a handfasting, broom jumping blast! My husband jokes that our guests will forget their own weddings long before they forget ours. Sorry for being so longwinded :/ but it was definitely unusual.
those are some very strange places to get married at!! but, as long as they’re happy, eh?
I have always wanted a unique wedding, but some of these are too weird for me. xD
I wonder what my wedding will be like…
Glad I came back to this site some new very interesting items which I wanted to know more about. Great work on your site.
on the top of a garbage dump? hmm…not so sure they like each other.
Speaking from the perspective of someone who is getting married in less than three weeks (September 12), I do not think most of these are bizarre places to be married at all. Rather, I think they are very clever ploys to limit the number of guests who can attend! Sure, you can come to our wedding – if you can climb to the top of Mount Everest/fly on a bi-plane/scuba dive to the location/run behind the fire engine chapel! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!
No having to deal with friend Jane who won’t attend if you invite your other friend Mary because Mary dated a boy that she KNEW Jane liked, 27 years ago in high school; nor Aunt Tilly who needs to be able to bring her 24 year old cat FluffPuss because it can’t be left home alone, and by the way can you ask the caterers to provided fresh minced tuna for FlussPuss? Not Great-uncle Clarence, your friendly family lech who makes lewd comments to 19 year old servers, and thinks taking out his glass eye is an amusing bon mot, and none of the “boyfriends” that your thrice divorced cousins show up with, who turn out to be bar pickups from last week and who get drunk and take off with your trashy niece, causing yet another family rift which someone else will have to deal with at THEIR wedding.
Seriously, our wedding will be outside, in a field on the edge of the woods, with a picnic reception after. Maybe. Or maybe we will elope to Vegas and get married by an Elvis impersonator; I know that it is not too late for that option!
“cool” on-top-of-mount-everest wedding!
Nude weddings really aren’t that bizarre. Some religions practice nude in order to be closer to nature. (aka Skyclad)
Since it’s not THAT uncommon a practice, I can’t see why it’d be up there with “bizarre”..
as if working in McDonalds is that much of a shame.
We and my wife had a plan for a extremely different wedding, aside from a church, maybe like bungee jumping or underwater could be cool. Sent out a plan to the weddings arranger and said it would and would be ok. but after a few months saying that there was some problem with the places we wanted to be married with. Ended up in a normal catholic church wedding.
Jamie, did you proofread this list? The grammar and punctuation are awful!
You could say Romeo and Juliet got married in Heaven.
“Marriage: A public expression of a private intention.”
Getting married a second time? “The triumph of hope over experience.”
What about the Salt Cathedral in Colombia? There is a cathedral built deep into a mountain near Bogota, Colombia, made entirely out of salt. The walls can be licked and are unbelievably salty. The tunnel to reach the salt cathedral is wide, so the bride is allowed to be driven there. However, Colombian ettiquete says the groom must walk. Often times the groom panics and the bride gets stood up.
my mom and step dad got married on top of a roller coaster.
I feel like a had a loser wedding now I see this list
In a couple centuries, marriage in space will probably be common place.
Most of them are pretty bizarre, yet adventurous. I’d try most of them, especially the nude wedding ^^
From adventure lovers to tourists exploring traditions, Fuji Five Lake, Japan is ideal & close by location to be definitely explored. Another unique place is Koya-San; Japanâs highly sacrosanct temple complex. From religious wonders & tradition discoveries to strange walks to cemetery of celebrities, it has fun activities to be witnessed yourself.

I would LOVE to get married at 7 Floors of Hell BY THE EFFING GRIM REAPER. Geezus, a macabre enthusiast couldn’t have a much wetter dream than that :F
Definately would have the bride and groom wear something less common though.
the marriage in Hell looks fantastic…i shall show that to my fiance!
Really?? Taco Bell or McDonalds for a wedding?? Very classy. Pathetic, pathetic people. I despise weddings and find them rather pointless, I myself eloped and it was fine. We try to make such a big production out of something so intimate. I hate weddings!! Well, I probably just hate humanity in general, so nevermind.
