This wedding was one of the most high profile events of 2003.
Being at a huge distance from each other, the famous pilot cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and an American of Russian origin Ekaterina Dmitrieva tied the knot.
They were allowed to perform such an unusual ceremony by the laws of the state of Texas, where the girl lived.
However, not everything was smooth.
Who put the space wedding at risk of disruption, tells about this and much more АиФ.ги.
He and she
Cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko.

Yuri Malenchenko was born in an ordinary family: his father is the chairman of a collective farm, his mother is a teacher.
The boy graduated from school with honors, and in 1978 he entered the Kharkiv Institute of Radio Electronics.
His parents dreamed that their son would become an engineer, but after studying only one course, he decided to change his future profession and transferred to the Kharkiv Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots named after S. I. Gritsevets, which he graduated from in 1983.
Malenchenko made his first flight in 1994 as the commander of the Soyuz TM 19 TC and the Mir OK.
Then he stayed in space for almost 126 days.
The future space bride Ekaterina Dmitrieva was born in Leningrad.
When she was 4 years old, the whole family emigrated to the United States.
At the time of the unusual marriage, the girl's mother worked at NASA as a specialist in orbital programs, and her father taught at one of the universities of Texas.
By the way, the first meeting of the future spouses took place five years before the wedding: Yuri and his colleague Yuri Gidzenko came to congratulate Ekaterina's mother on November 7.
But at that moment, no one could have imagined that real feelings would flare up between the girl and the astronaut.
The official acquaintance of Malenchenko and Dmitrieva took place thanks to their mutual friends on April 12, 2002, on the Day of Cosmonautics.
The cosmonaut was 15 years older than his future wife, he had already had one unsuccessful marriage, in which his son Dmitry was born.
However, this fact did not confuse 26 year old Ekaterina, who not only agreed to marry Malenchenko, but was not against a cosmic marriage with her lover.
However, the couple did not intend to make their mural public domain.
Everything was supposed to take place in a private video link.
The future head of the new family did not even inform his own parents, he only asked for their blessing on the phone.
But the plans of the lovers leaked to the press, and crowds of journalists began to besiege Malenchenko's hometown Svetlovodsk and the restaurant where the bride and her guests later celebrated their marriage.

The "against"guide
Not everyone liked the idea of a cosmic wedding.
Catherine did not have any problems, because according to the law of the state of Texas, the bride or groom can be absent from their own wedding.
But Yuri had to sort things out with the management, for whom the news of the upcoming ceremony was an unpleasant surprise.
The future groom simply put everyone in front of the fact, moreover, by his act he violated the rules of secrecy that have been in force since Soviet times.
In order to marry a foreign woman, the commander of the expedition had to ask for the permission of his command in advance.
Due to these legal delays, the wedding was under a big question for some time, and many media outlets wrote about the cancellation of the grand event.
However, in the end everything ended well.
Yuri heard the desired yes, only now not from his future wife, but from the management, who gave the go ahead for the ceremony.

How not to spoil the wedding.
Tips that will help the newlyweds
The long awaited event took place on August 10, 2003.
The lovers entered into marriage while being at a huge distance from each other: Ekaterina - on Earth, Yuri - in orbit.
The media wrote that on the day of the wedding, the groom was in full dress — in a tailcoat, but this is just speculation of journalists.
Shortly before the event, in the month of June, a small parcel came into orbit from the future wife of the cosmonaut, in which there were two bow ties and a silk belt under the tailcoat.
Malenchenko and his American colleague Ed Lu put these simple wardrobe items on their work suits before the ceremony.
The young people made vows of loyalty and love to each other, looking at the monitor screens.
They put on their own rings and sealed the union with air kisses.
The lawyer signed the marriage certificate instead of the groom.
Oh, this wedding
After the ceremony, Ekaterina went with her friends and family to an Italian restaurant to celebrate the joyful event.
In the photos from the banquet, the happy bride is depicted together with her husband, only not a real one, but a cardboard one made in full growth.
When Yuri returned to Earth, the couple got married in Russia.
The sacrament was held in the Resurrection Cathedral of the city of Tutaev (Yaroslavl region).
This place was chosen by the cosmonaut not by chance, it was here that Yuri Malenchenko was baptized in the late 90s, and his godfather Archimandrite Veniamin was the rector of the cathedral for a long time.
As before, the lovers wanted to get married in secret, but reporters began to come to the temple in the morning.
Only thanks to the vigilant security, there were no outsiders at the ceremony.
After the wedding, Ekaterina moved to Russia, and the Malenchenko couple had a new family member daughter Camilla.
