Erin Finnegan and Noah Fulmor of New York City said their wedding vows in a memorable way: in zero gravity! The ceremony took place Saturday inside a specially equipped aircraft flying in parabolic arcs to simulate the effects of space. This kind of ride is sometimes called "the vomit comet", and is used for astronaut training.

Mr Fulmor, whose tuxedo tails were specially stiffened so they would not float out of control, admitted he had trouble lining up his lips for the all-important wedding kiss.
"The physics of the first kiss were off. I could feel where I was going, I knew where I needed to be, but it was hard to reconcile the differences," he said.
"Noah knocked into my nose and I thought it would bleed," Ms Finnegan said.

As MrP says, it's free fall, not zero-g. A co-worker got to take the ride - sounded like fun.

Every marriage has its ups and downs.

Not zero gravity, technically they're falling at the same rate as the plane is diving. If anything what we're talking about here is microgravity.
