A
Nepalese couple felt on top of the world on their wedding day. No
surprise, as they got married on top of Mount Everest. Moni Mule Pati,
24, and Pem Dorjee Sherpa, 23, exchanged wedding vows a top of the
world’s highest peak, becoming the first people ever to get married on
the
summit
. It truly was a match made in, or at least as close as possible to, heaven. Even the guest was left breathless.
There was little of the usual
paraphernalia
that surrounds weddings. Just oxygen tanks, climbing equipment and some
plastic garlands and traditional vermillion powder, which the groom
applied on the bride’s forehead. They did have some quite
spectacular
Himalayan views as a backdrop for their weddings pics. The nuptials
took just ten minutes and then the happy couple had to descend due to
the bitingly cold conditions.
The newlyweds had kept their plan secret, just in case their wedding plans were
thwarted
by
avalanches
,
freezing winds or faulty oxygen masks. They didn’t have time to fulfill
all of the religious requirements necessary in their Hindu wedding, and
so will complete formalities at a ceremony in Kathmandu. Pem Dorjee
said: “With our interracial marriage, we also wanted to give the
message that caste and race are no barriers when it comes to marriage.”
