It’s understandable that brides and grooms would want to make their wedding day the time of their lives. That special occasion etches an immemorial impression upon their hearts.

The trappings of a wonderful wedding are often extravagant, beautiful and grand. Enormous planning and preparation go into orchestrating that picture-perfect ceremony and reception.

But what about the wild ones – those folks who always want to take everything to the extreme?

What are some of the wildest wedding ceremonies in recent history?

Here are some of the most outrageous from Your Tango:
