Here are some of the strangest weddings out there!
9 - Forever Alone One of the most common complaints millennials
have regarding romantic partners is that no one understands them.
It’s hard, really, because movies and TV series have always told the same big lie:
you’ll know immediately the right person that you should marry by just the look in
their eyes.
We think that kinda impossible, but then again, that’s just us.
However, there are definitely people who don’t really connect with anyone and they stay single
for a long period of time.
And this is what happened to Grace Gelder.
After having been single for more than 6 years since her last relationship, she decided to
marry herself.
Oooookay.
She said that she was desperate to find a partner at the beginning, but the longer she
spent by herself, the less she thought she was alone.
Ummmmm…...we’re not gonna break down the logic there for you guys.
According to Grace, she discovered she could be her true love, and that changed everything.
So she had a wedding that way she could marry herself to celebrate her lover…..for herself.
She even went through the whole deal of saying vows.
To herself.
Still, she thinks her days of being by herself may come to an end.
Even if she is married to herself.
8 - End of the World Zombies are still so hot right now.
Okay, that was a Mugatu reference in case you guys didn’t get.
It seemed like it was something that’d only be around for maybe a couple years.
However, interest in zombies hasn’t stopped thanks to the Walking Dead and it’s spinoff,
Fear the Walking dead.
For some zombie-fans, getting to see zombies in movies, tv shows and video games isn’t
enough.
Annnnnd THAT’S why Zombie-themed weddings exist!
Zombie weddings have gained popularity to the point that even former NFL players got
in on them!
Former Steeler and Panther running back Deangelo Williams is one of many people that chose
to have a zombie themed wedding for their big day.Deangelo and his wife are self-professed
huge Walking Dead fans.
Their zombie wedding was them pretending to be a perfectly normal couple about to get
married, until they’re attacked by their wedding guests slash hungry zombies!
They hired professionals for the makeup, transforming all their bridesmaids and groomsmen to brain-eating
zombies ready to get the bride!
To be honest…...it actually looks kinda fun.
Would you guys do a zombie wedding?
Or maybe just join one?

7 - Hologram fun What’s weirder, marrying yourself or marrying
a hologram?!
Let us know what you think by taking the poll!
Everytime Akihiko Kondo comes home, he’s greeted by the light of his life.
Literally.
He recently in 2018 just spent 18 grand on a wedding ceremony for him and his wife, a
hologram named Hatsune Miku!
Hatsune was developed as computer-generated singing software with the persona of a big-eyed,
16-year-old pop star with long aqua-colored hair.
She’s able to recognize Kondo’s face and voice with her embedded camera and microphone
and she can respond with simple phrases and songs.
I mean, is it cheating when her clones are entertaining other guys all around the world?!
Although it may seem strange, Kondo says that he believes the shape of happiness and love
is different for each person.
Ehhhh we guess that’s true.
Whatever floats your boat!
6 - Spacing Out
Noah Fulmor and Erin Finnegan were a couple who’ve been geeking out about space, time
travel, and aliens for more than ten years.
This is in THEIR own words, not ours.
Understanding this couple means understanding why they took 2 long years in order to plan
their zero-gravity wedding!
They met in 2000 when their respective universities’ sci-fi clubs had a meeting together.
Sounds about right!
Their dream wedding definitely wasn’t a small feat.
First of all, they both wore clothing specially designed for zero-gravity situations.
Imagine a regular wedding dress in a zero gravity situation?
Yep, the skirt on the dress going all directions, showing off things the groom wouldn’t want
other people to get to view!
They got a Japanese fashion designer to create the dress, and they also hired a professional
zero-gravity photographer in order to get good photos.
How many photographers out there are professionals in zero-gravity environments?!
Zero Gravity Corporation made their dream wedding come true, with a modified 727 airplane.
Basically, the plane flies very high up and then descends in free fall, following a parabolic
flight path.
The plane does this 15 times, which gave Erin, Noah, and their wedding party roughly 7 minutes
of no gravity!
5 - 99,999
Red roses are a symbol of love.
Well, the Chinese certainly take that to a whole new level.
Along with the number 8, the number 9 is a lucky number as well.
That’s especially true when it comes to a man and a woman.
It’s typical for a guy to give a girl 99 red roses to symbolize his love for her forever.
For one guy, since 99 is lucky and good, it was only logical that 99,999 is an even luckier
number.
Xiao Wang, decided to spend an entire year of his salary on buying 99,999 red roses for
his bride on their wedding day!
Wang also donated 20 percent of the cost of the roses to charity to bring even more luck
to their marriage.
Seriously, how much luck did this guy need?
There were so many roses that his province couldn’t possibly fulfill the request.
So Wang had the flowers flown in from all over China in order to get the flowers on
time.
30 people had to work for over 10 hours just to get the flowers into the 30 cars used to
take the flowers to the service.
4 - A new world record
If you’ve ever been close to a woman who’s planning her wedding, then you probably know
how hard it is for a bride to pick bridesmaids.
So it’s pretty amazing what Jill Stapleton did: pick 110 bridesmaids for her wedding.
I mean…...why not just make every girl at the wedding a bridesmaid?!
However, the actual reason behind choosing that many bridesmaids is a lot less crazy
than you may be thinking.
Jill is a dance teacher in Ohio, and she owns a dance school.
So for her wedding day, she asked all her students to be bridesmaids.
Fortunately for her students, she didn’t make them all wear the exact same dress, but
rather the same aqua blue color that gave the wedding a sense of cohesion.
Each and every bridesmaid walked down the aisle, which probably made it the longest
ceremony Ohio has witnessed.
Of course, Jill and her bridesmaids broke the Guinness World record for most bridesmaids
in a single wedding, which was 90 bridesmaids.
3 - Hippies Everywhere
Sometimes love is in the air, quite literally!
Kim and Ryan Jenks were both really into slacklining and highlining, which is basically like slacklining
except hundreds of feet in the air.
Soooo if a couple love an activity, why not incorporate it into their wedding?!
Kim and Ryan got married 400 feet up in the air in Moab, Utah.
They had picked the area because they had often slacklined in the area.
Now, how could a wedding happen right in the middle of the canyon?
Andy Lewis, who was the best man, designed a net called the spacenet.
This net was painted over with a bunch of different colors to make the net pop.
The most interesting part of the wedding?
The wedding party were just as adventurous as the couple!
Various members of the the wedding party performed aerial stunts below the net, did acro-yoga
on the cliff edges, and paraglided over the canyon during the ceremony!
After the couples exchanged their vows, 10 BASE jumping ‘flower girls’ lined along
the cliff edges in tutus and jumped off one-by-one, releasing thousands of flower petals that
had been packed in their parachutes!
2 - The Shark Tank
You guys ever want imagine yourselves getting married with a bunch of sharks around?
No?
Don’t worry, we didn’t imagine that either!
But that’s exactly what happened at Michael Curry and April Pignataro’s wedding.
The couple took the plunge in a 120,000-gallon shark tank, surrounded by giant sharks at
Atlantis Marine World aquarium on Long Island in New York.
They were surrounded by sand tiger sharks, nurse sharks, moray eels and a massive Queensland
grouper.
When interviewed about the reason for the strange wedding, April said that both she
and Michael have always been pretty eccentric people.
Fully clad in scuba equipment, they both had radio headgear attached so they could hear
each other say “I do” The aquarium didn’t let the couple’s guests and family be in
the water with them, as only one cage could go down.
So the priests, the witnesses, and both their families had to be on dry land and watch the
whole ordeal through cameras.
Maybe having one cage worked out for everyone involved!
1 - Thrill After Thrill
There are people who just don’t want to do what everyone else does.
And then there are couples who want to have a wedding like none other before.
Jeroen and Sandra Kippers from Brussels were the first couple ever to get married roughly
150 feet above the ground!
The wedding had two platforms.
One platform had the couple, a priest, and 20 guests strapped into chairs.
The other platform was filled performers for the wedding.
Well, a full orchestra that is, complete with a pianist.
How they can hear the music with the sound of loud wind is a mystery to us, but hey,
we weren’t the ones taking the plunge!
After completing their nuptials, the newly-weds were tied to a bungee cord and jumped off
the platform after walking down the aisle!
Here’s what’s next!
