Most people feel like their wedding day is a day to remember without any adrenaline-pumping stunts or quirky gimmicks.

But one couple decided that the icing on the triple-tiered cake of their romantic vows would be tackling the sheer drop of a cliff face.

Rock climbing enthusiast Lu Chao scaled the 'red rock' cliff in Ansai county in China's Shaanxi province along with his new wife to snap some memorable wedding photographs for the family album.

They were even still wearing their wedding gear, although the groom had manfully shed his jacket.

Lu was reportedly bruised after having to hang on the cliff-face for three hours until the photo shoot ended, but the effort was worth it if these pictures are anything to go by.

Lu Cho and his bride aren't the first high climbing newlyweds.

In 2013 adrenaline junkie couple Fang Jing and her husband decided to marry their love of outdoor sports with getting married.

They were pictured hanging from a rope in Liuzhou in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the country.

On that occasion brave bride Fang even tried her hand at some rock climbing as she scaled the side of the cliff.

The wedding photographers didn't get off lightly either - they had to be suspended alongside the happy couple in order to capture the moment.
