Countdown Goes On for Space Wedding

From Times Wire Reports

International space station commander Yuri Malenchenko will not be standing next to his bride when they marry next month -- he’ll be orbiting 240 miles above Earth.

In what could be the first space wedding, Malenchenko, 41, and Ekaterina Dmitritv, 26, will wed either by phone or proxy, his bride-to-be told reporters after getting a marriage license in a Houston suburb.
