7. Glacier Wedding

8. Hot Air Balloon Wedding



Mike Kijak has been flying hot air balloons through California's Sonoma Valley for 15 years. Though the wedding party is limited to eight, the sky is the limit for hot air balloon weddings at Up and Away in Sonoma Valley. Owner Mike Kijak, center, pilots the balloon and performs the ceremony. "You would hear about it," he said of hot air balloon weddings. "It's marriage proposals we'd see a lot of. Then one day someone asked, 'Can you marry us?' and I thought, 'Sure, why not?'" So, Kijak looked into it and can now legally marry couples in the state of California. Of course, he's also flying the balloon, so ceremonies stay relatively simple.

9. Rainy Wedding



There are those who believe that a rainy wedding means good luck for the happy couple. If this is true, then Hernelie Ruazol and Ram Campo are in for a blessed marriage indeed—it didn't just rain on their wedding, it poured and even flooded.
 
The couple's sopping-wet wedding became Internet-famous as a post-nup photo of them kissing in ankle-deep flood water in their wedding garb made romantics swoon. The couple tied the knot inside the flooded San Antonio de Padua Parish Church in Singalong, Manila, at the height of the monsoon rains.
 
In the days leading up to the ceremony, the bride, a teacher at Epifanio de los Santos Elementary School, had begged the weather for a break on her special day. Obviously, the skies did not heed her appeals, but ultimately, Hernalie and Ram didn't seem to mind. On the day of the wedding, the couple's spirits seemed as relentless as the rain.
 
Their vow of "for better or worse" was tested much earlier than expected. Kissing in a rainy deluge, Hernelie and Ram appeared able to endure any future storms in their marriage.
