Couple Marries While Hovering Above Newport Harbor

Byline: Associated Press

NEWPORT BEACH (AP) — Here comes the bride, all dressed in a jet pack that’s zipping down a California beach.

Amanda Volf and Grant Engler donned water-powered packs Aug. 23 to be married on the water — or, more accurately, above the water — in Newport Beach.

The 25-year-old former wedding planner from Grand Rapids, Mich., said she wanted a unique ceremony. So, the couple donned the $90,000 contraptions on their backs, along with a wetsuit for the groom and white board shorts and a rash-guard shirt for the bride.

The jet packs from Jet Lev Southwest helped the couple hover a few feet above the water, to the cheers of their wedding guests.

Everything went smoothly — except for a kayaker who capsized during the newlyweds’ first dance on the water.
