Unit 2. Page 30. Exercise 8. Listening.

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:18,900
In other news, the first-ever wedding of a couple jumping from a plane in parachutes took place yesterday,

4
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,100
in the skies near San Diego, California.

5
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:28,420
Tracy Chadwick and Sunil Kapoor hired a minister, Reverend Robert Martinez,

6
00:00:28,420 --> 00:00:35,340
to jump with them out of a twin-engine Cessna and marry them in the air before they landed.

7
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:39,980
Chadwick and Kapoor have known each other for eight years

8
00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:44,300
and have been members of the Soaring Skydivers for two years.

9
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:49,000
To date, each of them has made over 15 jumps.

10
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,820
Interviewed as to why they wanted to get married in such an unusual way, Kapoor said,

11
00:00:55,980 --> 00:00:58,260
We're just adventurous souls.

12
00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:01,280
I guess we like new and different things.

13
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,760
When I emigrated to the United States from India several years ago,

14
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,260
I wanted to try a lot of new and different things in my new country,

15
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,500
things I couldn't do in India.

16
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:15,320
So I started doing parachute jumping.

17
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,340
Tracy was really interested in jumping, too.

18
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,000
When we decided to get married, we knew we didn't want a conventional wedding.

19
00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:25,600
Chadwick agreed, adding,

20
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:28,360
We were going to get married on a bungee,

21
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:30,800
but when we got to thinking about it,

22
00:01:31,060 --> 00:01:33,940
we decided that would be just a little too dangerous.

23
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,120
Plus, we couldn't find a minister who would jump with us.

24
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:43,780
Reverend Martinez had never made a parachute jump before yesterday.

25
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,120
Asked if he had ever performed such an unusual wedding ceremony before,

26
00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:50,900
Martinez responded,

27
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,020
No, I think this one is the oddest.

28
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:56,800
I used to be a pastor in Arizona.

29
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,200
I would get some...

30
00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:00,740
fairly out-of-the-ordinary requests.

31
00:02:01,420 --> 00:02:05,500
I mean, for example, once I married two people on horseback.

32
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,720
But nothing quite like this.

33
00:02:08,740 --> 00:02:11,040
Would he do another parachute jumping wedding?

34
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,540
Or even another parachute jump?

35
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,300
I don't think so, Martinez said.

36
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:19,620
No, I think this is one for the scrapbook.

37
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:22,120
At this point, I can just say,

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,800
Been there, done that.

39
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:26,140
That's news on the half hour.

40
00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:28,400
Stay tuned for our next broadcast,

41
00:02:28,420 --> 00:02:29,760
at the top of the hour.
