Jamzman Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 When I asked my wife to marry me I asked her if she would marry me on the Phantom's Revenge Roller Coaster. She said she would. So on July 31, 2010 I was married on the platform to the Phantom's Revenge Roller coaster and then we completed the wedding ceremony with a ride on the coaster with the entire wedding party. I would like to thank Kennywood Park for being very accommodating, Jeff Flicko and Andy Quinn for making it happen, my best friend Bill "the sound tech" for making the arrangements, the ride crew for their help, and Kenny Kangaroo for attending. Also thanks to all the people who had to wait in line while our marriage ceremony was taking place. Here are a few photos of the wedding. Hope you enjoy the pictures We are off to the reception and Honeymoon at Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens. On ride photo Here comes the bride The wedding The vows With this ring 1st Ride as man and wife Lost Kennywood Gazebo Carousel #1 Carousel #2 Enjoying the scenery at Kennywood
thrillrider Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Congrats. It must be a common thing for couples to get married at kennywood. The past few visits, I have seen wedding partys in the park.
Jamzman Posted August 19, 2010 Author Posted August 19, 2010 Lots of people go to Kennywood for pictures. Lots of great photo spots not to mention the carousel that is very nice in pictures. Not many actually get married there. I think we are the first for Phantom's Revenge. I know there was one on the Jack Rabbit and Thunderbolt.
ebl Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Congratulations to you and...the Mrs. Looks like you two had a fun wedding. Best wishes for many happy years together. Eric
Skramp Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Congrats!! But I had to laugh because the phrase "He walked her down the station" came to mind. But you have a memory most people don't!
alilstronger Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I dream of getting married at an amusement park. I can not wait for it to be legal in my area for gays to marry! A wedding at Hershey would be beautiful!
Gmaster562 Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Thats awesome. Congradulations. i remember people doing that on goliath at SFMM... actually 200 other people...
mr. cockblock Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Good idea man! Congrats and cheers to a lifetime of thrills.
fatdaddy Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 That's awesome, the whole wedding party in a coaster train and a kangaroo, can't go wrong with a kangaroo.
Jamzman Posted August 21, 2010 Author Posted August 21, 2010 It would not be a wedding with out a Kangaroo.
Jamzman Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 Since our wedding I have gotten my wife to 5 more amusement parks and started her on counting her coaster rides. She claims she has ridden more coaster in the last month than she has in her whole life......... I think I have created a monster.
the ghost Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Lucky. My parents are not coaster people hence we NEVER go to theme parks on vacation except for the one time we went to WDW as a family in 2000. You get to take the best vacations and trips ever and enjoy them together!
Capitalize Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Congrats! I would love to get married on a coaster with my fiancee...
CoasterEricHP Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Congrats!! That's so awesome! My dream wedding is to have a small thing like you guys and instead of having all of the fancy (and expensive) reception stuff, I'd rather just a small ceremony in a pavilion at Knoebels and then for the reception everyone goes and enjoys the park. It'd work out great since my girlfriend and I both hate dancing and love Knoebels!
Jamzman Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 Well we compromised I wanted the Phantom wedding and she wanted a reception with the "dresses n tuxes" so we got married at 11am at the park (the only time they could hold the ride so we were the first ride of the day) and we had a full reception at 4 pm.... And so what to do between..... Mickey D's At the reception my good friend owns a hearse so he brought it....What a better way to pose for wedding pictures than with a hearse. say cheese...burger Our best Michael Jackson pose "Get in honey"

Replace "coaster" with "wang" (or other euphemism of your choice) and you have comedy gold!
