'...Two Nepalese climbers were on top of the world this week - not only because they reached the top of Mount Everest but because they got married there in what was believed to be the first wedding on the summit.
It was a brief ceremony with no procession, champagne or band - only piles of snow and a breathtaking panorama for bride Moni Mulepati, 24, and groom Pem Dorjee, 23, as they exchanged their vows at 8,850 metres on Monday..."We were there only for 10 minutes, just enough for us to get married and our friends to take pictures of us," ...They briefly took off oxygen masks and donned plastic garlands while the groom put traditional red powder on the bride's forehead - for Nepalese the equivalent of exchanging rings...'
