In a modified Boeing 727-200 which zero-gravity, which couples floating slowly to the center stage as the zero-gravity in the same role before becoming pastor upside down, has made a common commitment to life: I do.

The bride said: This is even better than I expected magic. The following are 3 pictures:

To recreate the weightless experience without going into space, the plane executed parabolic flight maneuvers, climbing sharply and descending several times during the one-hour flight.

Finnegan and Fulmor floated into matrimony on Saturday thousands of feet (metres) above the Gulf of Mexico in what organizers said was the world’s first weightless wedding held in zero gravity conditions.

THE bride wore white and earrings resembling tiny planets, the groom a tuxedo and cuff links shaped like spacecraft, and the wedding party attended in blue jumpsuits.

New York City couple Erin Finnegan and Noah Fulmor floated into matrimony yesterday thousands of metres above the Gulf of Mexico in what organisers said was the world’s first zero gravity wedding.

The couple exchanged wedding vows and rings – with some difficulty – and fumbled their kiss flying weightless inside the padded fuselage of a specially modified Boeing 727-200 aircraft, G-Force One, operated by ZERO-G, a company offering weightless flight experiences.

“I’ve been to a lot of boring weddings, so I wanted to do something different,” said Ms Finnegan, who wore a “space fashion” white pantsuit whose trouser bottoms fluffed out during the weightless moments.

Wires kept her hairdo from unravelling.

“It was weirder than I expected,” she said.

To recreate the weightless experience without going into space, the plane executed parabolic flight manoeuvres, climbing sharply and descending several times during the one-hour flight.

Inside the 27m padded “floating zone”, the ceremony was accomplished with a lot of bumping and fumbling, as bride and groom, guests and witnesses tried to coordinate their movements in a microgravity environment.

Officiating at the ceremony was Richard Garriott, a second-generation US space traveller and ZERO-G co-founder, who is also a registered notary.

Mr Fulmor, whose tuxedo tails were specially stiffened so they would not float out of control, admitted he had trouble lining up his lips for the all-important wedding kiss.

“The physics of the first kiss were off. I could feel where I was going, I knew where I needed to be, but it was hard to reconcile the differences,” he said.

“Noah knocked into my nose and I thought it would bleed,” Ms Finnegan said.

The couple didn’t drop the ring – but there was momentary confusion when someone else’s wedding band floated off a finger and into the wedding group, before it was rescued.

“I’ve waited my whole life for this… what I remember most was the feeling of weightlessness, both physically and emotionally,” Mr Fulmor said.
