Proving that marriage is something well worth jumping into, a Cheshire couple surprised their wedding guests by taking part in a bungee jump seconds after completing their vows.<\/p>\n

Dave Hitchen, who works as a Web Developer for H2eCommerce in Crewe and spends his days working on the CartridgePeople.com website, kept guests in the dark as to what he and travel blogger<\/a> Nat had planned for their wedding on the Garry Bridge in Killiecrankie, in Perthshire, Scotland, on February 28.<\/p>\n

Onlookers were astounded as they watched the 27 year-olds say \u201cI do\u201d to humanist minister Jane Bechtel, whilst standing 140ft above the River Garry before turning and leaping from the platform.<\/p>\n

The thrill-seeking lovebirds were thankfully unscathed as Dave remarked \u201cit\u2019s been a funny old day\u201d with the pair dangling upside down.<\/p>\n

Dave had proposed on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro exactly a year earlier and felt the bungee jump<\/a> was a \u201cfantastic\u201d way to tie the not. \u201cThe options were a transporter bridge or a cherry picker in a field.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we heard about Highland Fling jump and instantly thought diving into the River Garry gorge would be truly breathtaking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

There was one more surprise on the way as the newlyweds announced their new married name. Nat explained: \u201cWe hate doing what you\u2019re supposed to do, so instead of doing the usual with the name change, we both decided to get a new name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now Nat and Dave Took, because we \u2018took\u2019 a new identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having had a delightful honeymoon touring Scotland in a campervan complete with spray painted murals, Dave is back to the day job of working on the CartridgePeople.com site!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
