Can You Get Married While Skydiving?
A skydiving wedding ceremony is totally possible. Part of the skydiving process is the plane ride, and it’s possible to exchange nuptials during the ascent!
Has anyone ever gotten married while skydiving? Yep! Couples who have their skydiving licenses share a special passion for jumping, and it’s not uncommon to celebrate their love for one another and the sport with a skydive.
As first-timers, exchanging vows mid-flight, or before or after the jump is the way to do it. How does it work? Simple.
- Take care of the logistics beforehand: Get your marriage license and all that good stuff solidified prior to your jump.
- Book a jump with us: We are thrilled to accommodate you on your special day.
- Exchange your vows: Bring yourself, your significant other, your officiant, and a witness!
Due to most people desiring traditional wedding ceremonies, having unique ways to propose marriage can still spice up the mundane without compromising the custom. Which is why, even more common than a skydiving wedding is a skydiving marriage proposal!
How To Propose While Skydiving
Can you propose during skydiving? Yes! One of the best marriage proposal ideas is for first-timers to have a plan for proposing while skydiving. Wait, can couples skydive together? Well, not on the first jump …
Although licensed jumpers are able to freefall alongside one another, first-timers doing tandem skydives cannot. Why? Safety! Don’t let this discourage you from booking a jump with your special someone. Tandem skydiving pairs cannot freefall side-by-side, they can ride in the plane together.
Your unforgettable marriage proposal is perhaps best executed immediately after the skydive in the landing area. How does it work? Both people will climb to exit altitude together with their respective tandem instructors – the anticipation growing every second! The person planning to propose will exit the plane first and land first. Then, by the time their beloved lands, they will be ready with the ring!
Of course, to pull this off successfully, you need to connect with the Skydive Cross Keys team ahead of time. We’ll make sure you exit in the correct order; hold the ring for you until you’re back on the ground so you don’t lose it to the sky during freefall; and cue up the videographer so they catch you on one knee!
Skydiving engagements are easily customizable, making them one of the most unique proposal ideas. Here’s how to incorporate three fantastic options into your proposal skydiving experience:
- Banner
Imagine the thrill your partner will feel as they descend from the sky, only to spot you standing beside a massive banner that reads, “Will you marry me?” You bring the banner (make it at least 10 feet wide!) and we’ll position it for maximum impact. Whether it’s spread out in the landing zone or held by friends and family on the side, it’s sure to be a heart stopper!
- Friends
One of the best ways to propose marriage is alongside everyone important to you – the special people in your lives who make up your support system. There’s nothing quite like sharing the freedom of freefall with those closest to you with a group jump, and even those who cheer you on from the ground will be part of the experience. - Intimacy
A skydiving engagement is still possible even if you’re a more private pair. One of the most prominent benefits of a skydive is a renewed perspective on life, and sharing this joint appreciation with your significant other is unparalleled. Envision landing from your skydive and embracing each other. As your tandem instructors gather their gear, you can drop to one knee and pop the question!
Skydiving Weddings: What About The Wedding Party?
Don’t forget about your best mates! You can easily include your wedding crew in the fun of a skydive as part of the ultimate bachelor/ette party, or organize a group jump during the pre-wedding festivities when all your loved-ones come to town for the big day! Skydiving is a great icebreaker for folks who haven’t met and is an adventure that will be the talk of the wedding weekend.
Is Skydiving A Good Date Idea?
Not quite ready for a lifelong commitment? Skydiving is the best date idea! Couple skydiving brings a sense of adventure and bonding. The shared adrenaline rush creates core memories for the long run, and (if it’s a first date) it gives you something to talk about! Who needs dinner and a movie when you have some sunshine and an airplane? The only downside to a skydiving date is that no other date will compare, that is, unless you get your solo skydiving license together!
