Talk about losing weight for your wedding.
Noah Fulmor and Erin Finnegan literally floated down the aisle on their wedding day, which took place aboard a zero gravity flight. They are the first couple to be married in a weightless wedding.
The flight, organized by Zero Gravity Corporation, achieves a microgravity environment using maneuvers known as parabolas. The plane climbs high into the air at a 45 degree angle and then descends at an angle of 20 degrees. It is during this descent that passengers experience weightlessness.
Both Fulmor and Finnegan, who live in New York, dreamed of becoming astronauts as children. They have been together since 2002 and were engaged in 2008.
Bay Area residents who are interested in experiencing zero gravity may get the chance to do so on July 11th, when Zero Gravity Corporation comes to San Jose. More information is available at http://www.gozerog.com/.
