Those who are particularly adventurous may also consider tying the knot somewhere unexpected, like at the top of a glacier or inside a chapel made of ice.
Below, we rounded up 27 photos of couples who have turned their weddings into one-of-a-kind experiences, from getting married underwater to saying, "I do," while riding a rollercoaster.
On Valentines Day in 2011, aquarists Kathryn OConnor and James Oliver got married while swimming underwater.
However, their officiant didnt join them underwater.
Instead, he stood just outside the tank, allowing the couple to read his cue cards which said things like, "You may exchange rings."
The underwater wedding still featured some traditional elements.
Oliver and O'Connor both wore pretty traditional attire. The groom donned a suit, albeit sans blazer, while the bride wore a wedding gown underneath her diving gear.
In November 2017, another thrill-seeking couple took their wedding to new heights.
The bride wore a gown with a long train as she walked down the aisle, which was also suspended over the canyon.
According to Weglin, when it came time for her father to walk her down the aisle, they only made it about halfway across.
Weglin and Jenks also put a unique twist on every wedding tradition they included.
For example, rather than having flower girls walk down the aisle, the couple had 10 BASE jumpers propel off the sides of the canyon. According to the Hearnes' blog post , the BASE jumpers threw a total of 5,000 flower petals into the air.
And instead of saying, "I do," at the end of their wedding ceremony, Weglin and Jenks opted to say, "Hell yeah." The two also exchanged soft shackle rings instead of their actual wedding bands to avoid the risk of dropping them in the canyon.
Marisela Matienzo and Carlos Munoz got married inside their local McDonalds in November 2010.
The couple didnt need traditional caterers for their reception.
Instead, Matienzo and Munoz provided their guests with Happy Meals. The food was packaged in custom-made boxes covered with photos of the couple on the sides.
Guests were also served Coca-Cola and Sprite in tall Champagne flutes.
Employees even used McDonald's trays to carry and serve the refreshments.
That same year, one couple chose to get married in one of the busiest locations in the world: Times Square in New York City.
Rick Clark and Melessa Ellis exchanged their vows during the city's famous New Year's Eve celebration.
Cars cant drive through much of Times Square, so the couple took creative measures to share the news of their marriage.
During many traditional weddings, newlyweds will write "Just Married" on the back of the vehicle they leave in. But for Clark and Ellis, the couple simply taped the signs to their back as they walked through the city.
Following tradition, some newlyweds leave their weddings in vehicles with the words "Just Married" written on the back. Clark and Ellis taped signs with the same message onto their backs as they walked through New York City after their ceremony.
In October 2015, Berta and Jose Fernandez traveled from Spain to New York City to take their wedding photos in Times Square.
One of the couple's photos placed them right next to someone dressed as Winnie the Pooh.

For example, Shandi Trolson and Jordan Lenaburg held a colorful wedding ceremony at the annual gathering in September 2015.
The theme for that year's Burning Man was " Carnival of Mirrors ," which celebrated "mirrors and masks" as well as "mazes and merger."
In August 2017, one couple found a way to make their Burning Man wedding even more unique.
According to Reuters, Lauren Rock and Bob Peterson climbed into the art installation they created with artist Nino Alicea a giant owl called "Mucaro after they tied the knot at Burning Man.
As captured in several photos, Rock threw her bouquet out to a crowd standing below her while standing inside the head of the owl installation.
In June 2009, Noah Fulmor and Erin Finnegan exchanged vows aboard a specially-equipped Boeing 727 plane known as G-Force One.
Their unique ceremony was captured by Reuters photographer Phelan Ebenehack.
The couple flew from Florida to the Gulf of Mexico during their "weightless wedding," the first of its kind in history, according to Reuters.
The couple even planned to have their first kiss as newlyweds while upside down.
According to New Scientist, the pilot of the plane used 15 "parabolic" maneuvers to render everyone aboard G-Force One weightless for 30-second intervals.
On Valentines Day in 2016, 50 couples in Jkabpils, Latvia, wed while riding hot-air balloons.
During the festival in Latvia, each hot-air balloon was tied to a car to prevent it from soaring too high.
One year later, in November 2017, 100 Chinese couples tied the knot while riding hot-air balloons. However, Guinness World Records told GBTimes at the time that it was not "an officially sanctioned world record attempt."
Even snowfall didnt stop couples from attending the momentous event.
Attendees kept warm in coats, scarves, and gloves.
Some couples have intentionally braved freezing cold temperatures during their weddings.
The iconic ice chapel at Hoshino Resorts Tomamu, previously known as Alpha Resort Tomamu, in Shimukappu, Japan, hosts many weddings every year.
Many of these couples have to accessorize their wedding attire with winter jackets, gloves, hats, and more.
After tying the knot at Lake Shikaribetsu's Igloo Village in Hokkaido, Japan, newlyweds Akemi and Hiroshi Matsuoka (pictured above) walked through the snow.
Other couples have exchanged their vows on top of a glacier.
Some couples have taken their wedding photos at museums.

This type of venue is great if you and your partner have a shared love of museums.
Zoos across the world also allow couples to get married on their property.
In May 2003, one couple in Vancouver, British Columbia, saved their most innovative idea for the very end of their wedding.
Moments after Alicia Wood and John Gereighty were married, the two boarded a roller coaster alongside family and friends, according to Reuters.
