Illinois Couple Plummet Their Way To Wedded Bliss On Waterslide: Watch Video
Steve Gifford and Rachel Zaborowski have had so many milestones at Cedar Point they took the plunge there on their wedding day.
SANDUSKY, OH — An Illinois couple returned to the site of their first date to take the plunge — literally — on their wedding day. It was the latest milestone for Steve Gifford and Rachel Zaborowski, both of Springfield, who also got engaged at the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. Gifford, 35, said in a video posted on the Cedar Point Facebook page that he and Zaborowski, 29, that it made sense to mark “the big milestone” there, too.
The couple exchanged their vows and rings at the bottom of the six-story, aqua-body body slide, kissed and then climbed the stairs and into the capsules of the Point Plummet ride. The floor drops out during a near-vertical, 400-foot free fall into a pool of water, a thrill Rachel said made her a bit nervous.
