  18. The news about the wedding took place in Canada yesterday.
    Samantha Yang and Darrell Hammer hired a minister, Reverend Martinez, to marry them while they were parachute jumping from a plane.

So they were originally going to get married by bungee jump. However, they thought it was too dangerous and no minister would want to go with them.
