Noah Fulmor and Erin Finnegan (pictured below) will be the first couple to be married in zero gravity.

The couple, lifelong space fans will exchange rings and vows on June 20, in front of their closest family and friends aboard a modified Boeing 727-200 plane owned by the Zero Gravity Corp.

The plane will depart from Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Fla., and make steep dives while airborne to give the passengers eight full minutes of weightlessness, just as astronauts experience while flying in space.

The maneuver goes this way: The plane heads upward at about a 45-degree angle, then starts downward again at about a 30-degree angle–weightlessness occurs as the plane goes over the top of that parabolic curve. (the plane featured above is an Airbus)

The lovebirds had their wedding wardrobe especially designed for the occasion.

The bride will wear a multilayered white gown by Japanese designer Eri Matsui and the groom will be in a tux with tapered tails to ensure their clothes don’t reveal too much.

The bride and groom will even exchange special rings designed by jeweler Chris Ploof made with pieces of metal from the Gibeon meteorite, a space rock made of an iron-nickel alloy that crashed into the Earth 30,000 years ago.

The couple paid $5,400 per person for themselves and 10 guests to take the ride, though some guests are paying part of their own tickets.

“Noah and I are throwing a lot of money at our crazy wedding because private space travel is a cause we really believe in,” Finnegan wrote.

“Noah wanted to get married in space but we probably won’t be able to afford it for another 25 to 50 years – so I suggested this as a compromise,” she said.
