As the wedding industry evolves more and more couples are straying away from traditional venues and choosing to get married in exciting and unique places. We have seen beautiful weddings held beside a river, in a rustic horse stable and even on top of a mountain. But one company is taking it to the next level by allowing couples to tie the knot in space.
The company, called Space Perspective, will send a couple on the journey of a lifetime in their Neptune spacecraft. The trip will not be as nerve-wracking as a real space flight but it will give them the opportunity to experience what astronauts call a ‘paradigm shift’ when they see planet Earth from above. The whole experience is expected to cost you $125,000 per person.
But is it really worth it?
A space wedding is a dream come true for many people but is it really worth the price tag? It is important to understand the pros and cons of each venue before you decide what is best for you and your partner. A professional planner can help you weigh your options by identifying your needs and preferences. This will allow you to get an objective and detailed understanding of what each place has to offer and provide valuable insights into the options that may best suit you and your budget.
For instance, a wedding planner can assist you in finding the right venue that offers you and your guests everything you need for an amazing day. They can also guide you on how to make the most of your space. Moreover, they can recommend vendors who can help you create the perfect vision for your big day. This can save you a lot of time and hassle while ensuring that your special day is perfect.
In 2003, Ekaterina Dmitrieva and Yuri Malenchenko became the first couple to marry in outer space when they got married via a video link from the International Space Station (ISS) to the NASA mission control center in Houston. He wore his regular crew uniform and she a white dress for the ceremony, which was carried out by a proxy – the groom’s friend, Ed Lu, who is also an astronaut – according to Texas law.
Moreover, the couple had been long distance lovers and communicated mostly by phone as they prepared for their space missions. This made the occasion extra special for them.
Although planning a wedding in a raw space can be daunting, it is possible to plan a beautiful and memorable event with the help of professionals. The key is to focus on what makes your love story and your personalities shine through. This will add personal touches that make your wedding one-of-a-kind. A wedding planner can provide valuable insights into how to maximize your space, suggest creative solutions and guide you through potential challenges. They can also recommend trusted vendors and help you navigate the costs associated with your wedding day.
