Adrenaline junkies will do just about anything to feel the surge ripple through their bloodstream. They might jump off a bridge into some water; or go skydiving off the coast of Mexico; or free-climb the side of a cliff. If there's a way to get that adrenaline, these people will find a way.
One couple undoubtedly identifies as adrenaline junkies, and intertwined the fates of the rest of their lives into one of their stunts.
A recent interest in slacklining has percolated throughout the adrenaline-seeking community. Essentially, slacklining is balancing on a line/rope between two distances. Some people keep the line a couple feet off the ground, while others connect two cliff sides together. Ryan Jenks and Kimberly Weglin are the daredevil couple that took slacklining to a whole new level. Believe it or not, this couple got engaged on a net suspended over the Moab Canyon connected by slack lines.

Make no mistake about it--this couple simply loves slacklining.
They didn't just wake up one day and throw a random idea of getting married suspended over the Moab Canyon out there for no reason. These two work in the field of "slack lining," and are extremely passionate about the sport. It's no wonder they chose to incorporate it into their love for one another. These two love slacklining so much that they committed their lives to the sport even further by launching Slackademics, a learning-based website for slacklining. Together, they've been able to utilize their platform for artwork, teaching others, and general resources for others to use. Even further, this couple got married on the exact same date as a festival known in the slacklining community as GGBY. This festival is a great time period high liners and base jumpers alike. It's no wonder this couple chose such a specific date!
In November of 2017 the two completed their marriage ceremony suspended high above the Moab Canyon. They've compiled an amazing set of photos from their special occasion which you can check out here.
One photo shows the best man of the wedding, Andy Lewis, who was actually the creator of the net that served as the platform for the couple's wedding. Below the net, during the wedding ceremony, the couple hired performers who did aerial jumps and acrobatics to add more imagery.
Their wedding was so intricately planned, they even created a brand new meaning to the term "flower girls." So while they had performers under the net doing flips and tricks, the flower girls were also trained base jumpers. The flower girls can be seen jumping off the sides with a flow of flowers following them down.
The photos don't do the wedding enough justice, but you can get a sense for just how dangerous their wedding was. Further still, this should inspire your to incorporate anything you love into a wedding ceremony, even if it's a little dangerous. Just like Ryan and Kimberly did, you can also come up with some creative wedding ideas! Show this wonderful and dangerous wedding also to your friends and family!
