TOOELE, Utah - It's one way of taking the leap. A Utah couple married at 13,000 feet, then jumped out of an airplane.

Allan and Emily Wood's skydiving wedding including a parachuting pastor, two witnesses and a pair of photographers.

It was his second parachute jump and her third. So, each did a tandem jump, strapped to veteran skydivers.

The bride wore white -- a white t-shirt with the word "bride." The groom had a black one that said "groom."

The new Mrs. Wood tells KSL she's glad she married her best friend, in "such a fun way."
