This Is The First Couple To Get Married On Mount Everest

Couples will do anything to make their wedding day special and unique, but one couple may just have beat everyone else.

James Sissom, 35, and Ashley Schmieder, 32, a couple from California braved difficult terrain, altitude sickness and sub-zero temperatures on the gruelling three-week trip to their wedding venue - Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.

In an interview with The Daily Mail, Ashley said, "After much deliberation, we decided a traditional wedding was not the right fit for us. As much as we would have loved to share our special day with our family and friends, we were both drawn to the idea of eloping during an incredible vacation.
We both are avid lovers of the outdoors, but we knew the three week Everest Base Camp trek would be far more physically and mentally demanding than anything we've experienced."

The beautiful journey and wedding moments were captured by Charleton Churchill - an adventure wedding photographer. The wedding was unconventional in every way except that the bride wore a beautiful white gown even though it was freezing cold!
