As if weddings aren’t stressful enough – why not add magma?!
No sweat (pardon the pun) when you’re as used to extreme weather situations as stormchaser and meteorologist, Reed Timmer.
On Dec. 26, Timmer tied the knot with Fox News meteorologist Maria Molina at the top of an active volcano in Nicaragua.

As NewsChannel 4KFOR reports, according to Timmer, Molina is from Managua, Nicaragua’s capital city and the home of the Masaya volcano – the only volcano in the Western Hemisphere where you can drive up to the rim.
For the extreme nature lovers, it made for a picture-perfect wedding.
“I am so lucky to be married to my beautiful wife, Maria Molina,” Timmer wrote on Facebook. “We were very lucky to see the bright orange glow of the magma in the crater after the ceremony, and even the flock of extremely rare green parakeets made a fly-by at sunset.”

And while the wedding photos are absolutely stunning (scroll through the gallery above to see them all), Timmer says Mother Nature did throw a curveball during the ceremony – a dust devil blew up when Molina was walking down the aisle.
This isn’t the first time active weather wedding photos have proven to be Internet gold. In the summer of 2014, a photo of Saskatchewan newlyweds walking down a remote gravel road while a tornado tore through the background went viral.
That same summer, an encroaching wildfire presented an Oregon couple with a terrifyingly beautiful wedding photo backdrop.
