A Wedding at 10000 Feet!

Wedding at 10,000 Feet!

There was a couple from Mumbai and their friends on this trek and the couple was getting married at a temple near the snowline called Kunalpathri! Now after 6 years of trekking this is the first time I heard of anyone getting married at this altitude in the Himalayas apart from the locals! By the evening I had the pleasure of chatting both with the bride and the groom. They decided to do so because they had first met on a trek in the mountains. They said they would have another wedding in Mumbai for family and relatives as not everyone was willing to trek. I wonder if this idea would slowly spread? This wedding was organized by the trekking agency from McLeod Ganj.

I feel the same way, and they kept it quite simple too!

Thanks for sharing the link Priyank, I remember reding it earlier too. However, for this one there was no band or crackers it was a very simple affair.

quite an interesting idea :) i can get the feeling coz i proposed at the top of a hill too :)

on the other hand, am a li'l concerned too ... u have mentioned that they kept it simple. i hope, anybody else who follows this will keep it simple too ... otherwise, it'll just be another farce to litter those pristine mountains :(

I know Sandeep, I too have the same worry. But I think things might remain simple because of the logistics itself.

I too thought so Megha but I also worry of this later becoming some kind of a publicity stunt.
