Couple Gets Married On Mount Everest After Trekking For 3 Weeks, And Their Wedding Photos Are Epic
It’s been said that love can move mountains, but one California couple has proven that it can also climb them. Ashley Schmeider and James Sisson felt that a run-of-the-mill wedding ceremony wasn’t right for them – so they decided to get married on Mount Everest instead. As you can probably guess, their wedding photos are monumentally epic.
32-year-old Ashley and 35-year-old James spent a whole year planning and training for the expedition, and it was no walk in the park when they finally arrived in Nepal in early March. Accompanied by their photographer, Charleton Churchill, it took them the better part of 3 weeks to reach the 17,000-foot-high Base Camp Everest, where they finally said their vows after braving deep snow, freezing temperatures, and altitude sickness together. Churchill’s photos of the unorthodox ceremony show a spectacular blend of rich blue, crisp white, and rugged stone.
Let’s hope this couple’s marriage pulls through harsh conditions as well as they do! Follow their compelling journey and see the fantastic final results below.

Nice pictures. It's a bummer two stupid people photobombed all of them...

Now THAT''S determination! It's sad to see some of those comments below judging how they planned their own wedding. In fact, it is actually an amazing way to make the relationship stronger, like having confidence in each other, motivate each other. Maybe they also got mad at each other, but hey, that's also what can happen not and then. There are other ways to make it stronger of course, but climbing a mountain together out of their love for each other is still pretty amazing!

That's not on the Everest. That's Everest base camp. Everest is not the mountain seen from the EBC, as you first climb Lhotse. Hiking to EBC in Nepal is neither that hard nor expensive. I did it with couple of regular fit uni students. It only takes long due to the acclimatization.

You are correct but of course that;s just not sexy enough for the headline writers. It's an amazing spot still.
