Japanese Company Offers Wedding Services into Space
Starting
with 2011, the Japanese company First Advantages will be able to
provide wedding services at altitudes as high as 100 kilometers above
ground. First Advantages recently signed a contract with the American
aerospace company Rocketplane, which will be in charge of providing the
means to propel the soon to be happily married couples into space, for
a truly out of this world experience.
Strange weddings are nothing out of the ordinary anymore, since people
get married on a daily basis in some of the weirdest possible places.
Forget about churches! Underwater will do just fine, as well as while
falling out of the sky during a skydive. However, getting married into
space will certainly go down in the history books, although there may
be some legal problems that currently prevent such actions.
The legal issues will most likely be solved in the next two and a half
years or so, when the first such flight is scheduled, but couples
willing to get their destinies tied into space may have some problems
regarding the funds required to complete such a flight. Simply put,
First Advantages is currently charging 1.1 million sterling pounds for
a one hour space flight.
Except for the people getting married during the flight, First
Advantages will also provide the opportunity to include two guests and
a priest, as part of their 'Premium plan'. Of course, prior to the
flight, the couple and their guests will have to go through a four day
training period. Additionally, First Advantages will provide a wedding
dress and organize a party on the ground, as well as live broadcast the
wedding ceremony.
For 1.1 million pounds you wouldn't think there are too many people
willing to get married into space, albeit First Advantages will
certainly not feel the lack of costumers, especially considering the
nature of their services.
The first couple to get married into space will be Cindy Cashman and
Mitch Walling. "I came up with the idea over a year ago. While I was
meditating, an idea popped in my head to be the first person to be
married in space, so I started taking action to make my dream a
reality," said Miss Cashman.
