BERLIN (AP) — A couple in eastern Germany got married recently in a swing dangling from a motorcycle atop a tightrope, 46 feet above the ground.
The German news agency dpa reported that a pastor standing in a cage atop a fire service ladder presided over the wedding of Nicole Backhaus and Jens Knorr in the town of Stassfurt on Saturday. The couple exchanged rings in the air but, for safety’s sake, waited until they were back on the ground to kiss.
The wedding in the sky took place during a local festival.
The tightrope was stretched between the town wall and a tower, and the motorbike was ridden by Falko Traber, a member of a family of artists.
