Blazing bride and groom exit wedding engulfed in flames — for fun. Watch the stunt
All eyes were on Ambyr Mishelle and her new husband Gabriel Jessop as they left their wedding on May 7. It wasn’t simply because of Jessop’s sharp suit, or Mishelle’s glowing makeup.
The couple was, quite literally, on fire.
Jessop and Mishelle are professional stunt performers, according to their Instagram pages. Their line of business inspired them to put on a show as they left their wedding, which was held at Jordanelle State Park in Utah, KTVU reported.
The bride and groom walked through a crowd of guests in a video posted on Jessop’s Instagram. Mishelle’s hair, dress and bouquet are engulfed in flames and her back looked charred. Jessop’s jacket suit is illuminated by the fire.
The couple used protective gear and gel to make sure they weren’t injured during the stunt, Mishelle explained on Instagram.
“Gel protected my locs,” she told one woman on her post. “No way I’d have done it if I couldn’t ensure no roastage!”
After they walked through the crowd, they were safely extinguished as the audience applauded, which was shown on a longer video posted on the couple’s joint Instagram account.
Both bride and groom worked on the film “Hereditary,” according to IMDB. Mishelle has worked on other features including
“Yellowstone” and “The Outpost.” Jessop has worked on “127 Hours,” “Web of Spies” and other shows and films.
“No other wedding exit will ever compare to this one from (Mishelle) and Gabriel’s wedding last night. And this was after an amazing one-of-a-kind wedding on a sailboat,” the couple’s photographer, David Terry, wrote on Instagram on May 8. “They got ready in front of all of their guests so that everyone knew the precautions that were being taken.”
The couple took off to celebrate their honeymoon after their grand exit, Mishelle said on Instagram. On their joint account, the duo shared a film credit reel to thank everyone in their wedding.
“May the fire burn in our hearts for the rest of our lives,” Jessop wrote on his post.
