Watch: Slackliner couple gives whole new meaning to ‘tying the knot’

A couple gave 'tying the knot' a whole new meaning on Aug. 26.

Mickey Wilson and Purple McMullen-Laird wed in Moab, Utah while suspended more than 300 feet in the air.

The couple, who are both professional slackliners, said their vows on a space net. After they said “I do,” they dropped more than 200 feet toward the canyon floor.

😂🤙 thanks for all the safety help and rigging @whitethunder88 and @tarzen7305

Earlier this year, Wilson sprang into the spotlight after he rescued an unconscious man from a chairlift in Keystone, Colorado.

In a viral video, Wilson was seen scaling the lift’s cable and cutting the man free with a knife.

Wilson told the Denver Post, "It was one of the most scary things I've ever seen, honestly."
