Linda Ducharme and her husband, Bruce, had a lot of ups and downs in their 30-year relationship before finally getting hitched.
Now that they're together, the Florida-based couple can expect the ups and downs to continue -- because Bruce is a ferris wheel.
Ducharme first met "Bruce" -- whose real name is actually the "Skydiver" -- at a carnival in 1982 and it was love at first sight for her.
I got this weird feeling I cant explain. My heart was pounding as we went up the platform and got on the ride. I felt like I was being taken by this ride," she said, according to the New York Daily News.
But this wasn't Ducharme's first rodeo, er, carnival. Her previous relationships include a fly-by-night affair with an airplane and a romance with a train that eventually derailed.
Her relationship with Bruce also had problems. In 1986, a storm knocked the Ferris Wheel out of commission, sending him to Wichita, Kansas, for repairs.
She eventually found his remains and is now attempting to return him to his former glory.
In the process, she decided to marry Bruce last year and renewed their vows for What!?, a show on LogoTV.
The vow renewal was conducted by a non-denominational priest who resigned from the Catholic Church over his role in the ceremony.
I tie you flesh to steel, the priest said, according to the Independent.
Ducharme then repeated the vow: I Linda, take you Bruce, in this sacred marriage. I pledge to you my heart, my body and my spirit.
