2人にとって、一生の思い出に残る結婚式は、特別なものにしたいもの。その場所になんとエベレストを選んだカップルが! 

<デイリー・メール>によると、アメリカに住むアシュレー・シュマイダーさんとジェームズ・シッソンさんは、3週間かけて海抜約5,200メートルにあるエベレスト山のベースキャンプまで登ったのだそう。

コスモポリタン アメリカ版によれば、2人は「普通の結婚式では自分たちの個性を表現できない」ということで、1年がかりでこの結婚式を計画。必要なものをすべてカリフォルニアからネパールへ運び、山の上で結婚したのだとか!

「特別な日を家族や友だちと過ごしたいという気持ちもあったけど、2人だけで夢のようなバケーションを過ごしたいって気持ちもあきらめられなくて…」とアシュレーさんはコメント。以前、4,200メートル級の山に登った経験を持つ2人だったのだけれど、今回の登山では高山病になった上に、危うく凍傷になるところだったという。

We are still amazed. This couple married at Everest Base camp long before even the hoards of climbers came to set up their tents, where the only noise was the wind, ice and rock crunching below our feet, thundering avalanches, gas stoves blazing, and birds flying around. It was peaceful. Even though we were beat up, cold, and tired, there was still some energy left to enjoy the surroundings and get married. Here Ashley and James take a moment after their ceremony to enjoy the mountains that surround them. Again, thank you everyone for your support for making this wedding a viral national and international buzz. . Read the full story on the link below my bio above.

I have been contacted by a cable network for a possible show. If you Google this wedding, you'll see coverage, even ESPN chimed in. Anyway, thank you everyone for the encouragement and support. I can't read nor respond to many of the emails, posts, messages, etc., but I do appreciate you all, and James and Ashley especially recognize your support. They cherish all your stories and comments.
