Couple gets married mid-air, suspended over 1,000-feet gorge

Trekking enthusiast Jaydeep Jadhav, 33, married Reshma Patil, 26, while on a temporary 350-foot-long three-line ropeway. The couple and a priest hung from the three ropes overhead as they performed the rituals on Sunday over the 250-foot-deep Jakhani valley, 70km from Kolhapur. The ceremony lasted 15 minutes and spectacle was witnessed by friends, relatives and curious onlookers. According to the couple, all the necessary precautions were taken so that their security and safety didn’t get compromised. What was also interesting was that except for the actual mandap , every other ritual was performed according to tradition – from reading the mantras and shubh drishti to the exchange of garlands. We can’t help but wonder if this is only the beginning. Will their anniversaries be spent skydiving? Helicoptering? Will vow renewals be even more extreme? For this couple, the sky is (quite literally) the limit.
