A BURNING LOVE ‘Stunt’ wedding gets hot
No rice-throwing for this couple: Pyromaniac newlyweds literally went out in a blaze of glory after setting themselves on fire to end their wedding ceremony.
“Their wedding exit makes sparklers look boring,” reads the caption to the absolutely lit clip, which was posted online Monday by wedding DJ Russ Powell and currently has more than 15.2 million views.
Lovebirds Gabe Jessop and Ambyr Mishelle, 42-year-old stunt doubles who work on TV and film sets such as “Yellowstone” and “Hereditary,” decided to pay homage to their shared careers during their wedding.
The video of the ceremony — captioned “when stunt people marry” — starts off traditionally enough, with the bride and groom standing side by side. But the event takes a smoldering turn after a man ignites Mishelle’s bouquet with a large incendiary device, whereupon they go up in blazes a la Nic Cage and Sam Elliott in “Ghost Rider.”
They then jog down the aisle holding hands while their guests cheer.
The fiery footage ends with Jessop and Mishelle kneeling as a wedding attendant douses them with a fire extinguisher.
The display of burning passion set the comment section alight, with Powell saying on TikTok, “NGL… your wedding is gonna be top 10 for life.”
“If my marriage is not going to be this lit I’m leaving him at the alter,” added one viewer.
However, some concerned commenters wondered if the couple was OK, with one saying, “So many things could’ve killed them in this video.”
Powell replied, “They both had anti-burn gel in their hair and face, then she had a wig on top.” They were also reportedly wearing fireproof clothing, Newsweek reported.
