Extreme Wedding at 3,000 Feet in the Air at Yosemite Park

As extreme wedding trends continue to grow each day, couples decide to distance themselves from the usual “church then party” type of ceremonies and adopt some rather innovative ways of saying “I Do!”

One couple decided to tie the knot in a more eccentric way, suspended on a death-defying cliff in Yosemite's Lost Arrow Spire Highline. Lost Arrow Spire is a detached pillar in Yosemite Valley, California and the most famous way to get there is by doing a Tyrolean traverse.

The usual couple planning a wedding wouldn't even think of crossing through a free space on a rope, at about 3,000 feet high, to show the lengths at which they will go for love. But, we are not talking about your usual bride and groom here.

The bride who got married at Last Arrow Spire managed to set a precedent for one of the most dangerous and bold ways of saying “'till death do us part,” after dangling on a rope three thousand feet high in a white wedding dress.

The couple spent their wedding day climbing their way to the spot where they would get married. Even if they did not have any relatives or friends to stare at them on their wedding day, they surely felt a lot of pressure to do everything as planned.

Ben Horton was the photographer that documented the whole wedding adventure, following the couple on their amazing mountain climb. “It was a rush taking the photos. Even though I've been shooting climbing for a long time, the thrill you get hanging from a rope 3,000 feet in the air never really quite goes away,” he says according to DailyMail.

The wedding was documented for a book about extreme ways of saying “I Do!” that Horton was preparing to do with his friend Gil Weiss. Sadly, Gil was not able to see his dream come true. The photographer took a fall while climbing in Peru and passed away.

Gil's accident motivated Horton even more to finish the project that he and his friend started. “The iconic photographs I got serve as a great reminder that life should be lived, and to pursue my dreams while I still can,” the 30-year-old photographer tells DailyMail.

A lot of extreme wedding trends have surfaced lately, but Tyrolean traversing your way to the altar is definitely a way of making your wedding day unique.
