有经验的登山爱好者想必都知道“蒂罗尔横渡”(Tyrolean traverse)，在两个高点之间连接绳索，攀爬者沿着绳索横渡，非常惊险刺激。美国加利福尼亚州约塞米蒂国家公园内，有一处高达3000英尺(914米)的走绳胜地，人称“迷惑的箭尖”(Lost Arrow Spire Highline)。
据英国《每日邮报》11月12日报道，一对情侣征服了“迷惑的箭尖”，上演了一场“极限婚礼”。最惊险的时刻是，新娘子身穿白色婚纱从3000英尺高空走绳与新郎相会，没有亲朋好友的“祝贺”，只有摄影师本•霍顿见证这紧张刺激的时刻。到达目的地后，新郎新娘交换了誓言――“只有死亡才能将彼此分离。”
摄影师难掩激动的心情，说：“虽然我以前拍过很多登山的照片，但是拍摄3000英尺高空走绳带给你的刺激久久挥之不去。”
此前，霍顿曾陪好友吉尔•维斯登山拍摄，但不幸的是，维斯在秘鲁的一次攀岩中掉崖身亡。霍顿说：“我拍到了很多经典照片，照片时刻提醒我要珍惜生活，提醒我只要还活着就要追逐梦想。”
But ... who will catch the bouquet? Couple go to death-defying heights to say 'Till Death Do Us Part' suspended on clifftop as extreme wedding craze continues to soar
It's known as a 'Tyrolean traverse' and it's only for the most experienced and prepared rock climber, let alone a brushing bride.
But as 'extreme weddings' continue to be the biggest nuptial trend of the now, one couple have managed to set a dangerous precedent for any thrill-seeking lovebirds looking to tie the knot somewhere terrifically terrifying, walking down the aisle some 3,000 feet in the air.
While without the pressure of having your closest friends and family staring at you intently, this woman in white had plenty of reasons for pre-wedding jitters.
Her and her husband-to-be spent their big day conquering the famous Lost Arrow Spire Highline in California's Yosemite National Park.
At the toughest point, the bride had to clamber along a tight rope to reach the point where she would finally be married.
The stunning images were taken by photographer Ben Horton, who followed the couple throughout the mountain climb to document the happy - if horrifying - event.
'It was a rush taking the photos,' Horton said.
'Even though I've been shooting climbing for a long time, the thrill you get hanging from a rope 3,000 feet in the air never really quite goes away.'
The scene was set up as a shoot for a book about extreme weddings, following on from the craze that seen people go as saying 'I do' underwater or at the end of a bunji jump.
Horton had agreed to do the shot for his friend, Gil Weiss, but Weiss died from a fall during a climb in Peru.
'It wasn't actually that hard to convince me,' Horton said.
'Climbing with Gil had put me in some of the most amazing places I've been in my life, and I always took every opportunity I had to climb with him.
'Things were never dull while on a climbing trip with Gil.'
'He and our friend Brad showed up in Yosemite's camp with racks of climbing gear, and a wedding dress.
'Gil proceeded to have the ladies of camp try on the dress and then invited a couple of them to climb the Lost Arrow Spire with us.
'We shot over the next two days and managed to get some amazing photos that we were all quite excited about.
'Sadly before Gil was able to realize his dream of guiding people to these amazing places, he and another friend of mine took a fall while climbing in Peru, and both of them passed away.
'However, the iconic photographs I got serve as a great reminder that life should be lived, and to pursue my dreams while I still can.'(MailOnline)
