He chose this day to realise a dream.
A 32-year-old man in Orissa adopted a unique way to make his wedding memorable. He jumped from a height of about 6,000 feet to reach the bride's place yesterday.
Shishir Mishra, of Odagaon village, went up in a private helicopter along with three other skydivers and jumped to reach his fiancee's house in Bhubaneswar.
Several hundred relatives and other invitees witnessed Mishra and his friends landing in a playground a short distance from the marriage pandal.
Mishra was taken to a nearby hotel from where he returned within minutes after he had changed into the traditional groom's dress to marry Sweta Prusty.
Mishra, who works as an aircraft technician with the Indian Air Force at Delhi, has over 10 years of experience in sky diving.
He claimed he had earlier created a record by jumping from a height of 15,000 feet with the tricolour in the United States as part of an Indian delegation.
"Marriage is always a significant event in one's life and I did this to make it memorable," Mishra, who is a member of India's only sport skydiving team Air Devils," said.
