In a world first a young Surry Hills couple was wed by a drone last weekend and the bride was beaming, “The wedding went off without a hitch” said Melissa Meredith with a straight face.
The development coincides with the government’s $1.2 billion investment on drones. The casual observer did not expect marriage celebrant duties to encompass the job description of said drones. We live and learn.
In a stroke of genius the money the couple saved on the cost of hiring a Marriage Celebrant was spent on a helicopter and camera crew to film the wedding ceremony.
The drone operator, based in the Ukraine completed an online certificate as a Marriage Celebrant.
“It’s what I’ve always wanted”, said Sergey. “This is dream of lifetime.”
Unfortunately Sergey celebrated a little to heavily.
“The blades from the helicopter made it hard to hear Sergey’s voice over the drone’s speakers but it was worth it,” said Melissa.
In a related incident there was a helicopter crash nearby. There were no survivors.
