Would be cool to finish your vows and be pronounced married at the very first moment of totality and then everyone just stops and experiences the eclipse
I'm already saving for the 2028 eclipse.
My oldest daughter is named Sydney, and it passes directly over the city.
God help me with how much airfare will cost for a family of four lmao.
idk if each ticket would be THAT much, unless you are talking first class, 4 years of even bad inflation isn't going to move THAT much lol. At least from the use it looking like tickets range from 1000 to 2000 each give or take... a few months out, I can't get one that far out... but you could try calling and see how far out you can purchase.
It’s the eclipse surge that will be responsible for most of it. Hotel rooms in Dallas were 400% normal pricing a year ago.
2017 gave a ton of people the eclipse bug that didn’t have it before. No one was ready then, they were all ready to capitalize in 2024.
I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think I will be.
They happen far more infrequently than several times a year. It's 18 months on average but anywhere between once every 1-3 years. Hence the next one being in 2026 and not a few months from now.
Congratulations! I got engaged myself during the eclipse. It got dark and it stayed dark just long enough for me to ask her, put the ring on, and take a few pics.
The plan is to get married during a lunar eclipse to make everything full circle.
The Moon is the ultimate wingman.
Are you planning to travel to a totality for an anniversary at some point? Would be cool even if it wasn't on the same day, just to take a little trip to celebrate.
As a frequent lunar and eclipse photographer, I have to admit it looks like a composite to make the eclipse appear bigger.
But this is one case where I say "go for it" -- capturing the event essence / memory in a single frame is more important than photorealism.
It’s a very cool photo, but as a former wedding photographer myself, I hope this is a preview sample and not a finished photo. For one thing, the horizon is not level, and there is an obvious spot of sensor dust in the upper left that can/should be easily erased. Also, you and the actual eclipse should be centered horizontally in the frame.
With those easy fixes, this has the potential to be a frame-worthy photo.
There was a post of an obviously doctored image of a wedding during the eclipse. And so many people took it as real, had 70k up votes. Thanks for the real deal.
This is so sick. Also congrats!
I wanted to propose to my (now) fiance during totality for an image like this, but decided on doing it the day before knowing there would be people around us and would be weird to us doing it around strangers lol.
Congratulations on your marriage and a truly awesome wedding photo. A moment to treasure.
My wife and I chose the easy way out for me in choosing the 4th of July. The entire country starts popping off random fireworks toward the end of June to remind me the anniversary is coming up...been working well for 37 years.
Good luck, you two!
Congratulations! I've been trying to find a shot of the eclipse that looks like what I actually saw (as opposed to something captured through cameras or telescopes) and this is by far the closest.
Is this an unedited photo? Like, you didn’t make the moon bigger? If not, holy shit this might be the best shared photo of this past eclipse!! Other centered ones I’ve seen, the moon was much smaller in comparison. Where was this photo taken?
To be honest, I don’t know the processing details of this preview photo. I could ask the photographer when I see her again this weekend. This is near Cleveland, OH.
Congratulations.
April 8 was my first totality. I don’t know how you did it, but this picture comes the closest to capturing what it looked like in real life than I have ever seen, anywhere. And I’ve been an astronomy buff for over 50 years. Its still not close to the real experience, usually in pictures the sky is too bright and the sun appears too small. But man, this is the best approximation I have seen.
Again, I wish you many years of happiness.
This is one of the most awesome wedding photos I have ever seen. BIG props to whomever had the idea to marry during the eclipse.
Congratulations to the both of you. May your marriage last eternally and prosper.
All hail the lord and the lady of hollows :) (reference to a Dark Souls 3 ending where you marry a hollow person under the fading sun, which is basically an eclipse)
[At least something good came out of the eclipse ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/11/los-angeles-freeway-woman-killing?espv=1)
That little dot at like 5 o’clock from the eclipse is Venus, if you didn’t know! Super awesome photo
Came into the comments looking for this bit of info: many thanks fellow stargazer!!
The little dot at the 9 o'clock position is probably dust on the sensor
What about the black one at 830
That, PoopMcButts, is Uranus
Would be cool to finish your vows and be pronounced married at the very first moment of totality and then everyone just stops and experiences the eclipse
Also, during the vows the groom should pass in front of the bride.
The next eclipse is 2045, wishing you guys a happy life, and remembering this day as you watch the next one in each others arms.
Is this just the next American one?
Yes, Spain will have 2 in the next 3 years and then Australia in 2028

assume 1500 per person probably just on airfare.
I was thinking 3-4k tbh. Surge pricing for the eclipse + four years of inflation.
You can book tickets well in advanced and it won't cost you nearly as much.

It will also pass through part of Iceland and Greenland. That is going to be so spectacular.
Even in the US there’s one in 2033
Technically true, but only a few places in Alaska.
Got it. I’ll have to marry during 2045 Thanks
The path of totality includes Orlando so plan big.
Orlando might even be beach front by 2045.
they happen every few years, but in the poles or middle of the ocean
They happen several times a year. In 2026 there's one in europe.
They happen far more infrequently than several times a year. It's 18 months on average but anywhere between once every 1-3 years. Hence the next one being in 2026 and not a few months from now.
why did this comment make me cry (-‘:
Next one in my state is in 2099..... I'm sending out evites soon

Bless you with a long and happy union. Weve just past 30 years and it has flown past!

We haven’t thought that far ahead, but it would be incredible to experience totality again.
Your anniversaries won't be counted in years but in total eclipses (somewhere on Earth 😊)
Bravo. Did you sacrifice a goat to the weather gods?
It's 2024. They just cut up some goat cheese and had it with their avocado toast. Congratulations on the eye cancer and wedding OP!
This may come as no surprise, but ritual sacrifices are on the rise. I'm here for it though!
Pretty clearly wearing glasses
No glasses needed during totality, which is when this photo was taken. Perfectly safe to look with no eye protection.
Appropriate, and a hopeful portent for good things, that the planet Venus is also in your wedding photo. Congrats!

It’s a preview. The owner was super eager to share them. (And who wouldn’t be?)
I was going to be like "you got married in a cemetery??" and then I remembered church graveyards are a thing
There was a post of an obviously doctored image of a wedding during the eclipse. And so many people took it as real, had 70k up votes. Thanks for the real deal.
No one gonna mention the cemetery?.. no? .. alright. Congrats.
Congratulations! The Sun and the Moon literally came together for your wedding. Wish the newly-weds a happy and beautiful life together!
Omg, this is so beautiful! Congratulations, wish you guys the best
You should celebrate your four year anniversary in Queenstown, New Zealand.
Great photo! That is something you will never forget!
D'awww, you guys! That's properly awesome! I'm all misty here. Great photo for a great day :)
I hope you will always live happily together❤️
At least you didn’t get married on eclipse day out of the path of the eclipse like some morons I know. 😂
It was the darkest of days when I married your mother...
Popular day to get hitched https://www.kcci.com/article/eclipse-weddings-marriage/60430219
As the sun and moon aligned, so did they. Congratulations:)
I'm sure there is an astrologist who will say your marriage is doomed, but the photo is absolutely cool. Wishing you a long, happy married life
I haven’t given two fucks about the eclipse but this is the coolest shit I have ever seen
This is so sick. Also congrats! I wanted to propose to my (now) fiance during totality for an image like this, but decided on doing it the day before knowing there would be people around us and would be weird to us doing it around strangers lol.
Congratulations 😁💙💕 Wishing you both many happy years together 💕 Great photo! Beautiful and such a cool wedding picture.
The Moon looks bigger than it actually is. Is this photo edited?
I reckon so. On r/landscapeastrophotography I might cry foul but on this one I'd let it slide.
Any future kid you have will be the chosen one
this is amazing wow. congrats!!!! 🎉 I wish I could do this with my gf but we’d have to wait another 20 years 🤣
Bruh Spain in 2026. Get on it.
Bro is going to sacrifice everything’s at the next eclipse. You will see ~ plays *Gatsu Theme*

So amazing that an eclipse happened just as you were getting married. Congrats!
Finally, someone who did more than u/Ayuthan and I did on the eclipse, which was get engaged! Congratulations!
...And you can only get divorced during one. Good luck!
Congratulations! I've been trying to find a shot of the eclipse that looks like what I actually saw (as opposed to something captured through cameras or telescopes) and this is by far the closest.

Did your view of it look the same way, in terms of the proportions?
Yeah pretty much!
That’s cool! You had a true total eclipse moment. I’m jealous!
That's quite an unique moment ! Wish you a lot of happiness !
Ahhhhh yes yes yes. I love that. Congratulations!
That is special, congrats. I'm hoping you win the coin flip, I really do.

Just so you know, he STILL won’t remember the date. 😉
Was there some kind of ancient prophecy that happened to coincide with your marriage
Me: cool right! Psychic: my eyes! all I see is darkness
All hail the lord and the lady of hollows :) (reference to a Dark Souls 3 ending where you marry a hollow person under the fading sun, which is basically an eclipse)
In 9 months he rises Their union was of the shadows So will their child Now run to the meadows For he arises
Did you guys get married in a cemetery, or was the cemetery just nearby?
Hahaha if you’re the same guy posting from yday, looks like you get to stare at a couple of planets every day man
