In Japan, a new space wedding company is now accepting reservations. The couple will spend several minutes floating in zero gravity and exchange their vows before being shot into the sky. The ceremony is worth about 240 million yen. Couples will spend about half of that amount on flights from their private airport to space.
The reception and wedding ceremony can take place at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, where you’ll find historic spacecraft. The venue is the perfect place to hold your space wedding! It is also the perfect venue for a wedding social hour! The venue will even have a restaurant and bar for your guests! Guests can even stay at luxurious guest suites!
The wedding ceremony took place via video link. The bride, Ekaterina Dmitriev, and groom Yuri Malenchenko exchanged vows via video link. The bride was at NASA headquarters while Yuri was on board the International Space Station. The couple posed for pictures, which included a life-size cardboard cutout of Yuri. During the ceremony, Yuri Malenchenko played a wedding march.
The couple planned the ceremony via video conference. The transmission was classified as a private family conference, so it was not broadcast on NASA’s television network. A wedding ring and bow tie were also sent to the ISS on the Progress cargo spacecraft. Both rings were made of gold and had precious stones set into their shapes.
The idea of a space wedding has been popular for years now. The Mars chapel is currently designing a space-themed wedding chapel. The Mars chapel will work with an architect from Earth to make sure that the finished product is as spectacular as the destination! Another benefit of space weddings is that there’s no need for building permits. The ceremony is free. This is great news for couples who dream of getting married in outer space. This is an opportunity not to be missed.
If you’re considering a space wedding, consider the pros and cons of each. For instance, an industrial space is not going to have the flexibility of natural lighting. However, artificial lighting can help soften the space. You should also consider hiring performers to set the mood for the reception. When you’re planning your wedding in a raw space, think about how your guests will be comfortable and how they will enjoy their experience. A space wedding is a unique wedding and requires a little more thought and planning than a conventional one.
In addition to the flexibility of a space for your ceremony, it should have power outlets and adjustable lighting for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. You’ll also need to consider whether or not the space is accessible to guests who may not be able to climb stairs.
