Get married at -30degrees

-30 degrees


Your eyes are just fine....it is negative.



Last Saturday, a Russian couple Sergei Kaunov and his fiancée irina Kuzmenko got married in the ice-cold waters of the Enisei River, in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk at a temperature of -30 degrees Celsius.


Sergei a.k.a "The Walrus" who is also a member of a local ice-swimming club always dreamed of getting married in such extreme conditions. However his fiancée was never a big fan of winter and low temperatures. Yet, her love for "The Walrus" was so great that she agreed to go through this heart-stopping challenge. After taking a nice bath to warm up, Irina followed he beloved into the frozen waters, where their friends were already waiting.


They formed a half circle around the happy couple and and since no priest was brave enough to marry them at -30 degrees, Sergei simply put a ring on Irina’s finger, while the crowd cheered. 


Luckily, friends and family of the happy couple who were to cold to stand by them during the offbeat ceremony, got to join the festivities in a nice warm wooden cabin, where they danced the night away.I tell ya’, nothing says “I love you” like getting married at -30 degrees, because that’s what your fiancée wanted. I wish my wife had been so understanding and agreed to have the wedding at a strip club…

p.s. weird but interesting
