Your wedding day is a momentous occasion that will produce an everlasting memory, and to consummate your wedding vows airborne over the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains and historic lake Tahoe can only add to the thrill of the memories of your special day. Getting married while soaring through the sky in a helicopter or floating peacefully in a balloon10,000 feet in the air will provide an unparalleled wedding experience, an adventure you will reminisce forever. If you're an audacious couple looking to walk down the aisle in a slightly unusual way, a wedding in the sky may be just what you're looking for.
Although a helicopter wedding is a bit of an untraditional way to marry, the novelty of the experience will provide a perpetual remembrance. Saying "I do!" while flying in the air over the gorgeous vivid blue waters of Tahoe in the midst of the Sierra's is an astounding way to enhance the excitement of your once in a lifetime event. The infinite scenic beauty of the lakeand surrounding mountains as viewed from altitudes high above the horizon is an incredible sight.
The wedding ceremony is performed in-flight, and the helicopter party typically includes the bride, groom, minister and pilot. Heli-weddings, as they call it, are available year-round, and the price is comparable to outdoor beach weddings that regularly occur along the south shore of lake Tahoe. Once you're pronounced husband and wife you can relax and enjoy the magnificent aerial views of world-famous Emerald Bay, the pristine shoreline of Sand Harbor, the towering peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and all of the neighboring lakes of Tahoe.
An alternate way to partake in a high-flying wedding is to have a balloon ceremony. Imagine yourself floating peacefully in the sky aloft 10,000 feet in the air drifting across an immaculate body of water, and then culminating this dreamy sensation with the one you love as you unite in marriage. The setting is unimaginable, and the experience will be one that is long remembered.
The balloon ride begins soon after sunrise and typically lasts about one hour. Once the pilot reaches the "cruising altitude" your ceremony will commence. The remainder of the trip is devoted to observing the awe-inspiring landscape as you glide over the countryside and drift only where the wind permits. On clear days the view extends well beyond the Sierras, and sights as far as Yosemite National Park can be seen.
Although not as traditional as your typical wedding, conducting a ceremony at elevations of the clouds is quite a fascination for many couples. The idea of soaring through the air in ahelicopter or wandering serenely within a balloon aloft in the winds has an appeal that will provide a most impressive experience on a very special day in your life. Perhaps only for the audacious who seek an adventure, a wedding in the sky will present a thrilling and unique endeavor that can very well be construed as a wedding made in Heaven.
