With This Drop I Thee Wed

Apparently the Wonder Wheel was already booked:

Two Brooklyn lovebirds are getting hitched today at the summit of the Cyclone, the historic Coney Island coaster with as many twists and turns as a modern-day marriage.

Robert Meyer, 39 and Teri Muroff, 38, will be married on the coaster’s 85-foot-high peak by the Rev. Cliff Herring, a card-carrying member of the American Coaster Enthusiasts.

“Going up the first ascent, Cliff is going to say the vows, and then we’re going to hit the first drop and scream ‘I do!'” said Muroff, a painters’ union employee who planned the wild ride with Meyer when they got engaged in 2004.

Nearly 100 friends and family members will join the thrill-seeking couple on the platform of the 80-year-old wooden coaster before actually riding it to the top.

Meyer and Muroff plan to read individualized vows during the one-minute, 50-second ride, but said they would take as many rides as it takes to accommodate each of their guests.

“We were concerned that we wanted to have something that wasn’t too tacky,” admitted Meyer, a welder who said he and Muroff initially investigated a wedding on the beach. “But to us, tacky is chandeliers and mirrors in wedding halls.”

Just save the ring exchange for afterwards . . .
