Everyone dreams of a perfect wedding day. People make different plan and event to make the best days of their life memorable.

A couple crossed all limits to fulfil their dream of having the perfect wedding. James Sissom, 35, and Ashley Schmieder, 32 spent three weeks trekking through the snow to exchange vows and rings 17,000ft above sea level on the top of Mount Everest.

‘After much deliberation, we decided a traditional wedding was not the right fit for us. As much as we would have loved to share our special day with our family and friends, we were both drawn to the idea of eloping during an incredible vacation,’ said Ashley as quoted by Daily Mail.

‘We both are avid lovers of the outdoors and had experience at altitude up to 14,000 feet, but we knew the three week Everest Base Camp trek would be far more physically and mentally demanding than anything we’ve experienced.’

When the couple found the perfect spot, they got into their wedding dresses. Wearing hiking boots, the bride was smartly dressed in an embellished gown while the groom looked dapper in a black suit.

 

Specialist adventure wedding photographer Charleton Churchill filmed the remarkable journey of the couple and took numerous breathtaking photos.

‘I wanted to document a real couple getting married, the journey along the way, the pain, the happiness, the tiredness, the struggles, as well as the romantic chemistry of the couple,’ he said.

‘More than that, I wanted to portray the contrast that exists between the intimidatingly majestic mountains and the small, fragile love between two humans.’

So what wedding goals so you have?
