A Nepalese couple have exchanged wedding vows on top of Mount Everest, the first people ever to marry there.

They briefly took off their oxygen masks and put on plastic garlands, while the groom symbolically applied red powder on the bride's forehead.

Moni Mule Pati and Pem Dorjee Sherpa were part of the Rotary Centennial Everest Expedition earlier this week.

Was the bride half an hour later than everyone else? Must have been chilly in a wedding dress.

why would they want to get married ? I can understand wanting to climb everest but married. They must be rich , how much is divorce in Nepal ?.

Do they get a discount on their peak fees for being Nepalese.?
