TITUSVILLE. Fla. -- The bride walked on air. In fact, the whole wedding party floated during the ceremony.

Brooklyn, N.Y., residents Noah Fulmor and Erin Finnegan returned to Earth as husband and wife Saturday after being wed in the first marriage in weightlessness -- performed aboard Zero Gravity Corp.'s modified Boeing 727-200 aircraft.

"When you're floating, and it's under control, it's beautiful," Fulmor, a 31-year-old legal secretary, told Local 6 News partner Florida Today. "When you're twisting, all of a sudden someone has to grab you and steady you. There were moments that were absolutely as I had imagined them. The bouquet toss was as though it was staged in a movie, and we were watching it. It floated out and was caught effortlessly by one of the bridesmaids."

They were all smiles upon landing.

"I knew it wouldn't be like I was expecting," said Finnegan, a 30-year-old who works in animation production. "I was pretty calm through the whole thing."

The couple had talked of being married in space. The Zero G flight provided a realistic option.

The ceremony lasted nearly eight minutes, which was spread over 15 climb and dive combinations, or parabolic arcs. Vows and wedding bands made of meteorite material were exchanged as the jet dove from 36,000 feet to 24,000 feet, before climbing again.

"It was a bit tricky," wedding official Richard Garriott said. "They had planned their own ceremony quite well. They broke it up into 30-second episodes of the wedding. For each parabola, we did one small exchange."

A video game entrepreneur and investor in Zero G, Garriott became the sixth person to fly in space commercially when he rode a Russian rocket to the International Space Station in October. He was ordained through a California church so he could perform this wedding.

Garriott was moved by the pair's enthusiasm.

"If there's a couple who should be doing this first, they're clearly the ones," he said. "Noah and Erin are huge space fans."

The son of former NASA astronaut Owen Garriott, Richard Garriott thinks he might one day perform a wedding in orbit.

"People I know are planning on it but just waiting on the capability to travel into space to do that," he said.

After the marriage ceremony, the couple attended a reception in the rocket garden at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. They planned to spend Saturday night in a hotel at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, but that won't be the honeymoon.

After the nearly $100,000 wedding, they are cooking up another adventure.

"We hope Antarctica," he said.

"We have to save up," she said
