Host: Backpack bride and groom, they are recreating their wedding day again and again in all the worlds most exotic places, drawing all kinds of eyes to their wedded bliss.
Reporter: The wedding dress, usually so expensive, and you only wear it once, but not if youre Jennifer Salvage. Jennifer: We may tire out before the dress does. Well see.
Jeff: We took these really extravagant wedding dress pictures during the wedding and just really love the idea of not letting the wedding die.
Reporter: Jennifer and Jeff Salvage 1)tied the knot in 2008, but Jennifer has donned her $400 white lace gown 147 times in 19 different countries.
Jennifer: Egypt, France, Italy…
Jeff: China, Hungary, Iceland…
Reporter: Whose idea was it?
Jennifer: I think we started to joke about it after we came back from the wedding. I think one of us said,“Why dont we bring the dress along for the summer and keep taking some really fun iconic wedding photos?”
Reporter: What types of elements has this dress endured?
Jennifer: Underwater, salt water, the 2)sludge that you
pull up from the lobster traps...
Jeff: Volcanoes…
Reporter: But wait. Theres more.
So if you had something that you have yet to do, what would you want to do and what would you want to do?
Jennifer: Well, the zero gravity definitely appeals to me. Weve talked about that.
Jeff: I want to see her sliding into home plate at the Phillies.
Reporter: But even this brave bride has her limits.
Jennifer: Bungee jumping. I know we wanted the shot. I thought I could do it if I was harnessed at the waist, but that wasnt photographic.
Reporter: Have there ever been tense moments?
Jennifer: Har. (laughs) Yeah.
Jeff: Ive learned a few key things, like dont say, “Were done” and then say, “One
more! Oh, wait, wait. One more photo…and when were done, its over. Im done.”
Reporter: And we werent quite done either. Our blushing bride proved once again the old 3)adage,“Theres no place like home.” Make that one hundred and fourty-eight.
主持人:这称得上是一对新婚夫妇背包客,他们不断在世界各地知名的景点重新打造自己的结婚日,让不同的人感受到他们婚礼的快乐。
记者:婚纱通常都价值不菲,而且大多数情况下你只会穿一次,但是对于詹妮弗·沙尔菲兹来说,可不是这样。
詹妮弗:我们可能在裙子穿坏前就累坏了。再说吧。
杰夫:在婚礼期间,我们拍了些非常华丽的婚纱照,真的很希望不要让婚礼就此结束。记者:詹妮弗和杰夫在2008年喜结连理,但是詹妮弗随后在19个不同的国家总共穿过147次这件价值400美元的白色蕾丝婚纱。
詹妮弗:埃及、法国、意大利……
杰夫:中国、匈牙利、冰岛……
记者:最初是谁的主意?
詹妮弗:我想是从婚礼回来的时候,我们就开始开玩笑说这事。我想我们其中一人说:“要不我们带着这裙子去度假,然后拍一些非常好玩又有特色的婚照?”
记者:这件婚纱都经历了哪些“风风雨雨”?
詹妮弗:水底下,海边,龙虾捕笼带起的泥泞……
杰夫:火山……
记者:等等,这还没完。
那么,如果还有心愿未了,你们会做什么?
詹妮弗:嗯,失重状态对我很有诱惑。我们已经商量过这事了。
杰夫:我想看着她在大联盟的费城人主场滑步到本垒板。
记者:不过即使是这位勇敢的新娘也有不敢尝试的东西。
詹妮弗:蹦极。我知道我们很想拍这样的照片。我以为如果保险带在腰部绑好就行了,但是这样不上镜。
记者:是不是有很紧张的时刻?詹妮弗:哈哈,(大笑)是的。
杰夫:我抓住了一些诀窍,例如,不要说“我们拍完了,”然后说“再来一张!啊,等等,再来一张……然后当我们拍完了,就说好了,我搞定了。”记者:其实我们的采访也还没完。羞红着脸的新娘又一次证明了那句古老的谚语:世上只有家最好。这是她的第148张婚纱照。
