Space Wedding
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/11/national/11WEDD.html
Cosmonaut Weds in Space By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON, Aug. 10 (AP) - The bride blew the groom a kiss. He blew one back - from 240 miles in space. The groom, the Russian astronaut Yuri I. Malenchenko, did not let living aboard the International Space Station stop him from marrying Ekaterina Dmitriev, the earthbound bride, in the first wedding conducted for someone in space. They were married today at Johnson Space Center. Colonel Malenchenko, 41, took part via video. The honeymoon must wait until he returns to Earth in late October. "As Yuri was further away, he was closer to me because of the communication we have," said Ms. Dmitriev, 27, of Houston.
