First space wedding



First space wedding done deal.
Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko didn't let the fact that he's living aboard the international space station stop him from marrying his earthbound bride, Ekaterina Dmitriev, in the first wedding ever conducted from space.
The couple wed Sunday before family and friends in a private ceremony at Johnson Space Center in Houston, where Malenchenko took part via video. Texas law allows weddings in which one of the parties is not present. From CNN

In Iran after revolution, we had a lot of wedding ceremonies that brides used to live in Iran and getting married through some relatives to a man who couldn’t come to Iran. There were always a portrait of husband for the wife in wedding ceremony and then when she could get the visa, usually joint her husband to live together.
So, for this couple the situation was not the same but in any case they would not like to postpone their wedding. They celebrate a not forgettable wedding from the space and memorize it forever and for everybody.
