# Episode 101: The Wedding Glacier

## Story

**Setting:** A cracking blue glacier tongue on the south coast of Iceland at 4:15 PM in late September, where a wedding arch made of driftwood and dried wildflowers is sinking two inches per hour into the ice.

### Scenario

A couple has paid €14,000 for a destination wedding on Sólheimajökull glacier, and the officiant's floatplane is forty minutes late. The ice beneath the arch just split with a sound like a gunshot, opening a crevasse eighteen inches wide that swallowed the ring bearer's left shoe. Seventy-three guests in rented crampons are standing on what the glacier guide — who has gone very quiet — keeps calling 'the stable section.' Double wants to start the ceremony without the officiant and figure out the legal paperwork later. Bust wants to evacuate to the black sand beach a quarter mile downhill before someone ends up honeymooning inside a moulin.

### Quotes

- **Double:** The glacier is literally moving — that's romantic! We do the vows now, the ice holds for twenty minutes, and this becomes the greatest wedding story anyone's ever told.
- **Bust:** The ring bearer is missing a shoe and standing next to a hole that goes to the center of the earth, but sure, let's prioritize the photo op.
