TOKYO, July 1 (RIA Novosti) - A Japanese company that arranges weddings has teamed up with a U.S. commercial space transportation firm to offer marriage ceremonies in space from 2011, Japanese media reported Tuesday.
First Advantage and Rocket Plane will charge couples around $2.3 million for an hour-long flight to an altitude of around 100 km, which should give several minutes of weightlessness.
The bride and groom will be allowed to take a priest and two guests onboard, and their ceremony will be beamed live back to Earth.
The price also includes a wedding dress, a wedding party on the ground, as well as accommodation, transportation and a compulsory four-day training course.
