The World's First Ever Hot Air Balloon Wedding

The world's first ever hot air balloon wedding was meant to happen in 18 65, but the officiating priest refused to go up. So the couple had the first ever hotAir Balloon honeymoon instead. The reverend, by the way, was a guy called thomas de witt talmage. And one reason why i am not sure whether he was scared of going up, is he was a massive publicity stunt guy. He thought that no one should be to read novelsadalso, when was this?
