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.#break#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.#break#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.#break#Officiating at the ceremony was Richard Garriott, a second-generation US space traveller and ZERO-G co-founder, who is also a registered notary.#break#The couple didnt drop the ring – but there was momentary confusion when someone elses wedding band floated off a finger and into the wedding group, before it was rescued. |
