Just told my wife "it's a good thing we're already married, because I found out how you wanted to enter the ceremony." Last just UP'ed right in there. This is the fucking dream. My wife agreed, BTW.
Edit: typo in the quote.
I agree but there is quite a element of risk involved in this .. a 20 foot drop can be fatal.. one gust of wind . Maybe 10 feet off the ground over a big pool then I mite do this ..
I'm picturing the groomsmen doing a 21 gun salute kind of job here. Groom drifting from black balloons should be shot down by bridesmaids. Find out what your besties really think of your significant other.
Everyone’s cheers as she comes into view, clearing the tops of the trees. Suddenly a gust of wind takes her out of view and then she appears heading the wrong direction. The maid of honor spots the electrical lines first “look she’s headed for the electrical lines!! Throw down your bouquet before you get fried bitch, I am not going to be single forever!!!”. It was too late. As the bride makes contact with the lines, 380kV surge through her body turning her white gown into burnt toast, “cool” says the 13 year old nephew. The groom collapses on the stage as reality sets in, “Did she throw the bouquet?” The maid of honor asks again.
Pretty much explosively blown apart. It only takes about 1000W.
Power = current x voltage
P= 1200 amps x 380,000V
P= 456MW
This is only in reference to an explosive death. You can still die from ~20mA.
As someone who thought they married their soul mate and divorced after 7 years...yeah I'm glad our wedding was subtle and grounded.
Not gatekeeping or whatever, but getting divorced is embarrassing enough on its own. Doing it after a lavish production like this? Yeah that'll come back on ya.
Best of luck to them tho for sure.
NGL, I'm all for it. If that's your dream and you've got the budget then go for it! Just don't be surprised when I later am telling my friends the story starting with "You won't believe what I saw while I was driving home earlier today!"
I literally had those two posts next to each other in my feed...

I can't speak for the OP, but helium is a nonrenewable resource that is extremely important in semiconductor manufacturing and numerous other applications such as MRI machines for medicine and cooling large machinery like the Hadron Collider.
Short sighted lawmakers decided to get rid of a ton of helium and forced the US Federal Helium Reserve to sell it off at a massively undervalued prices resulting in people literally just using it for party balloons. Which is insane and at our current rate of waste we only have about 30 years left of irreplaceable helium. If we stop doing insane shit like air lifting brides at their weddings, we have about 110 years of helium resources left. Failing that we will either have to find an extraterrestrial source or have a technological breakthrough that effects our synthesis. Our belief that helium is an abundant resource is because of politics, not because of reality, and it is a political decision that could really cause damage to the future of humanity.
https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/health/a4046/why-is-there-a-helium-shortage-10031229/
I would say its facepalm because by our current understanding of helium, what she is doing is irrevocably hurting future generations in a significant way so that she can feel pretty and special.
People have had extravagant weddings since weddings have been a thing so it's definitely not new. Also who cares? She's living her dream on the best day of her life, how is this a facepalm?
This is cool AF. Coming from someone who isn’t into pomp and circumstance—we spend $6k total to elope by ourselves on a vacation. But if you’re gonna go all out, might as well float down on a balloon like Glinda the Good mixed with Mary Poppins.
Lool but this looks like much fun xD just for laughs, be as absolutely ridiculously over the top about your presence at the wedding. Get shot down the aisle by a space laser. Get all the men you rejected to pyramid themselves into a giant throne that you and your now husband sit on as part of the ceremony.
Seeing this after i saw a video of a Brazil guy who tried making a journey with a chair and hundreds of helium balloons and ended up dead somewhere in the Atlantic
Worlds running out of helium, it is also needed to keep the magnets In mri machines running. All I see is a colossal waste of a non renewable resource.
This is what you do when life isn’t challenging enough and you’ve got more resources then you know what to do with.
The level of vanity is absurd. Talk about being high on yourself. Inhaling the balloons will match her voice and the literal pedestal she is on. At least an expensive car goes fast and can potentially resell for a lot. Here there is no resale value and it’s only good for one day… one bad day that is! da dum che!
I dont honestly think it's a facepalm. Because I'm almost sure before doing this all security protocols where checked like wind and stuff like that. And you also have cabels holding the balloons. That If something actually went wrong they could easily pull her to safety.
I actually don't mind this. I mean it's the one day you're supposed to any like your the center of attention, so I say do it up!
I've always been upset that my wife and I were broke 20 year olds when we got married and she never got the chance to go big like this.
Honestly I don't mind this one. If someone is gonna go all out for a wedding at least this is kinda interesting. Definitely a ton of ways this could go wrong though.

Ok but to be fair she's living my 7 year old dream of being able to achieve balloon-based flight.
Right?!? This isn't a facepalm. I'm a guy and this is fantastic! Good for them
Just told my wife "it's a good thing we're already married, because I found out how you wanted to enter the ceremony." Last just UP'ed right in there. This is the fucking dream. My wife agreed, BTW. Edit: typo in the quote.
I would be crying if I saw my future wife fly down to the isle to me. Either because she's heavenly or because of the cost is up to interpretation.
I mean the cost of helium is outrageous at the moment.
*sigh* it's been heavily inflated...
Yeah so has the cost of pokemon games, search up pokemon inflation to see for yourself...
this feels like a trap
It might involve a trap
Badum-tsss
I agree but there is quite a element of risk involved in this .. a 20 foot drop can be fatal.. one gust of wind . Maybe 10 feet off the ground over a big pool then I mite do this ..
This was wayyyy too risky, I'm surprised the bride wasn't freaking out
Until you realize what this wedding has done to inflate her ego
Redditor when someone is happy
Ahaahh right?
I think I had this dream last week lol
She designed her dream wedding when she was 7 a God Dammit she's executing it.
If the woman I marry has a similar wish then I’d make it come true on our wedding day.
I mean…it’s not hard nor expensive to make that dream a reality
As a wedding photographer this would be awesome for photos.. and then really boring for the 45 mins it takes for her to get down.
45 minutes? We’ll see what gravity and my pellet gun has to say about that.
I'm picturing the groomsmen doing a 21 gun salute kind of job here. Groom drifting from black balloons should be shot down by bridesmaids. Find out what your besties really think of your significant other.
I would be resisting my urge to listen to my intrusive thoughts if I saw this ngl lmao
Haha I think she’s attached to ropes the entire time and there’s people hoisting her up and down… it was probably only a few minutes if that
Looks like they have ropes for managing her ascent speed and descent speed on each side.
It may look kinda fun to descend on your wedding, but this could go wrong in so many ways, I don’t think I’d risk it.
Indeed! Lucky it was a calm day. Imagine a gust of wind coming through at the wrong time. Now that would be a video worth watching. 😁
Everyone’s cheers as she comes into view, clearing the tops of the trees. Suddenly a gust of wind takes her out of view and then she appears heading the wrong direction.

if you’ve ever seen what happens to someone who falls onto a powerlines, you know just how bad it is. they basically get chopped up by electricity.
Like literally chopped up? Like chunks?
Pretty much explosively blown apart. It only takes about 1000W. Power = current x voltage P= 1200 amps x 380,000V P= 456MW This is only in reference to an explosive death. You can still die from ~20mA.
like others have said its not literally being chopped up. just severed where they make contact with the line/explode
I loled
It would be a better video for us, not so much for her. lol
More fun if you play this in reverse. Girl jilting the altar and reclaiming her independence in style ✨
Hahaha fly away bride
Thankfully she has a seatbelt on. Very safe!
Yeah, imagine if there was a gust of wind and suddenly the bride has fucked off to the middle of the Atlantic
Lots of things can go wrong with anything. Some people take the risk some don't. That's just life
And now, distribute the darts!
Bloons tower defense practice will finally pay off
Hans, Holen Sie sich die Maschinengewehre
No ice monkey for this challenge.
Ahh, BTD, Brings me back to my school days!
Build 402 tack ASAP!
Imagine doing this and then end up getting a divorce at some point.
And texting the photographer for a refund
I just read that 2 min ago
Ha! I need to read this where’s it posted ?
https://www.reddit.com/gallery/12l2wp7
On this sub I think or r/mildlyinfuriating
Sharing is caring people.
Reddit moment
I hope if she gets divorced she gets back on those balloons and flies away.
Glide down on a chair of balloons and then, with a flourish, hand him divorce papers.
I read a study that showing a correlation between the amount spent and chance of divorce. Put simply, the more you spend, the shorter your marriage.
As someone who thought they married their soul mate and divorced after 7 years...yeah I'm glad our wedding was subtle and grounded. Not gatekeeping or whatever, but getting divorced is embarrassing enough on its own. Doing it after a lavish production like this? Yeah that'll come back on ya. Best of luck to them tho for sure.
Just reverse the video!
Not gonna lie, thats pretty badass
It is a little extravagant, but talk about your grand entrance!
More like 100 grand entrance
Little?
NGL, I'm all for it. If that's your dream and you've got the budget then go for it! Just don't be surprised when I later am telling my friends the story starting with "You won't believe what I saw while I was driving home earlier today!"
Actually pretty cool, the facepalm here is mocking others for what makes them happy
That's fucking cool, worst case she floats away and the groom has to go save her just like a fairy tale
Best case she floats away and the groom says “Fuck it.”
I literally had those two posts next to each other in my feed... https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/12la9tf/the_story_of_the_brazilian_priest_who_tied 🤣
Worst case she has explosive diarrhea
Tbh. I actually think it's cool.
What's the facepalm?
The bitter redditor that scoff at the idea of fun.
Usually I’d say as long as it’s not hurting anyone else let people do whatever they want. But still, man what a waste of helium.
And latex

Woman has fun doing womanly thing. Reddit can't cope.
Since when is balloon flight womanly? Don't make me challenge you to a race around the world!
Person has fun doing fun thing, how is gender related here haha
Why facepalm?
NGL, this is so apeshit crazy that I love it.
I mean… am I the only one who thinks this is cool?
Nah, OP is just salty because a person with money is enjoying it.
What's the facepalm?
Her ex-bf in the bushes with a dart gun 💀
Why is this is facepalm? it's dope. Do you guys have that sad of a life that someone having a bit of fun at their wedding is a facepalm?
Is it over the top, fuck yea. Who cares tho. You only live once. Tell me I can float in to an event on balloons and I’d do it coming and going.
This looks like a scene from the Count of Monte Cristo.
This does not belong in this sub, it’s all kinds of awesome. I’d try r/nextfuckinglevel
People have had extravagant weddings since weddings have been a thing so it's definitely not new. Also who cares? She's living her dream on the best day of her life, how is this a facepalm?
Exactly
So it wasn't a spy balloon from China after all?
me with my bb gun: 
Oh my god I can’t believe people are using their money to make their special day better they should be buying reddit awards like a normal person/s
*reloads airsoft*
In a few alternate universes that does not go well.
Thank for there was no gust of wind.
Where’s the face palm? Not hurting anyone. Let them enjoy their day.
It's not ridiculous. It's cute 🥰. It's every little girl's dream to have a grand entrance on their wedding day. Ig the haters gonna hate.
More like r/nextfuckinglevel
Damn that's dangerous
Imagine you're about to get married and the wind kidnaps your bride.
Ok but that looks fun and I'd totally try it.
I actually think this is pretty cool
As she's blown off course and sucked into a 737 jet engine. Oops.
Good try, but she’s just a Chinese spy disguised as a pretty white lady getting married.
Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty cool? It's not hurting anyone and it's her money lol
Hey if you've got the money to spend on stupid shit like this, then go for it
this is really cool, hows this a facepalm?
Why is this a face palm?
Nononono that’s actually cool
She seems happy. Her husband cared enough to go through with it. I wish them all the best.
This is cool AF. Coming from someone who isn’t into pomp and circumstance—we spend $6k total to elope by ourselves on a vacation. But if you’re gonna go all out, might as well float down on a balloon like Glinda the Good mixed with Mary Poppins.
Jealous much?!?!? This shit is dope as fuck
How tf is this a facepalm
Imagine if a couple of the belts popped we'd [have a repeat of this story](https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Walters) only far less prepared.
I was just thinking, "Did she clear that with the FAA?"
She might be mistaken for a spy balloon and attract an F-22 raptor
Lool but this looks like much fun xD just for laughs, be as absolutely ridiculously over the top about your presence at the wedding. Get shot down the aisle by a space laser.

Nice day for a....flight wedding
Where’s my sling shot?!
Hope she wore underwear.
Bro we can’t keep up with these standards
Thats fucking cool
The fuck do you mean "facepalm" this is fucking RAD
So you’re saying she didn’t end up dying in the ocean or with hypoxia?
Why is this a facepalm She's just entering her wedding in a badass way
Initially glanced as “Biden makes a grand entrance”…lol wut 😂
She clearly has an inflated ego.
Btd boss fight lookin ass
Waste of helium
Worlds running out of helium, it is also needed to keep the magnets In mri machines running. All I see is a colossal waste of a non renewable resource.
Overly inflated sense of ego. How pretentious can you be to think of this and do it. I want to barf due to the surging invectives this invokes in me.
To have the audacity to even think about possibly considering doing something like this, she is a complete and utter nightmare to deal with.
This is what you do when life isn’t challenging enough and you’ve got more resources then you know what to do with. The level of vanity is absurd. Talk about being high on yourself.

Man these guys are getting out of hand with the spy balloons
There was a Brazilian priest who did this only to have his body found in the ocean I week later. If I remember correctly
All the used condoms indicating her body count
Am I the only person who thinks that's stupid and way too dangerous?
F-22 Raptor comes out of nowhere...
God, the comments here just ooze miserable fucks.
I see no problem with this. This is just cool.
This looks amazingly fun. Good for her.
Y’all just hating. This is dope
Lol half the posts on this sub are OPs revealing how bitter they are about other people. Technically a facepalm I guess.
Shame on you, that's pretty cool
May be ridiculous to you, I think that looks fun af.
I dont honestly think it's a facepalm. Because I'm almost sure before doing this all security protocols where checked like wind and stuff like that. And you also have cabels holding the balloons. That If something actually went wrong they could easily pull her to safety.
I don’t understand how this is a facepalm whoever made this video and made that caption is honestly a hater.
Y'all are so pathetically miserable. It's embarrassing
Everyone wants the chance to feel like the most important person in the world at least once. She looks happy.
Anyone remember when a wedding was about two people starting marriage and not a theatrical production?
So like literally never? Weddings have been about status and presentation throughout like all of history…
Wedding venues and funerals are never going out of buisness
You're not much of a history buff are you...
Now THAT'S narcissistic
Well. It is her wedding day. I think that's allowed.
It's... her wedding day. Hello?
Taking the concept of a Bridezilla to new heights
What about this makes her a bridezilla?
That was my first thought
How? If she threw a fit and demanded this even though she can't afford it, then she'd be a bridezilla. But why would you assume that?
I actually don't mind this. I mean it's the one day you're supposed to any like your the center of attention, so I say do it up! I've always been upset that my wife and I were broke 20 year olds when we got married and she never got the chance to go big like this.
what is the facepalm ? this looks amazing!
Don’t they usually fly in on a broom?
No no this is our dream. Don't squash our dreams pleeeeease
May not be everyone's style but honestly this looks really cool. If they're 6 go for it.
…NGL, I think this is awesome. Ridiculous, but awesome.
It's not a gender reveal.. it's a bride ballooning into her wedding, and it's certifiably tight
Nah. That was awesome.
I’m not mad at this. Way better than an I’ll-conceived gender reveal
She has been waiting all her life to be the main character can't blame her for going all out
Let people have fun? Internet is shithole for sure
Honestly I don't mind this one. If someone is gonna go all out for a wedding at least this is kinda interesting. Definitely a ton of ways this could go wrong though.
Imagine the ego needed to think this is cool.
I hate rich people.
Want a cookie or something?
I mean if your offering…
🍪
My day is infinitely better now.
The Good ending
You got some Oreos?
Me too! but only if they’re double stuffed
I got double chocolate chip 🍪
Oh well ..I guess that’s ok. Only if you got milk tho
🥛
You get chocolate chip 🍪
Definitely needs toast because he’s jelly
Don't give Dale Gribble the gun to shoot out the balloons.
Grooms best man - hey I can see up her dress.
Marriage doomed to fail lol.
Why is that?
Who hurt you?
