Couple marry while suspended in mid-air

Tokyo - A Japanese couple have got married while suspended by a wire seven metres above the ground.

Bridegroom Hirotomo Yoshikawa and bride Tomomi Sato have been the first to take up a Tokyo shopping centre's offer of free aerial weddings.

The couple exchanged rings as they "floated", using the same technique as is used in films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Their friends and relatives watched the wedding ceremony from a nearby staircase.

A spokesman for the shopping centre says those who wish to be married on the wire should not weigh more than nine stone two pounds. -- Annanova News
