STORY:
Just 134 meters above the harbour, 27-year-old Stephen Tierney and 28-year-old Claire Tullan from Scotland, climbed 1437 stairs. They braved the wind and rain to get married. They dressed in special climbing suits with harnesses for safety. Even the ring was attached to a rope, just in case.
新聞內容：就在港口上方134公尺處，來自蘇格蘭27歲的史蒂芬‧提爾尼與28歲的克萊兒‧杜蘭攀爬了1437層階梯。他們勇敢地在風雨中結婚了。為了安全，他們穿著特殊帶有安全帶的登山裝。甚至戒指都綁上了繩子，以防萬一。

The marriage ceremony brought Tullan’s dream to life.
這項結婚儀式帶給杜蘭對人生的夢想。

[Claire Tullan, Bride]: “I always wanted somewhere unusual to get married and this was the first place, somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit and I thought it would be amazing to do it. I’m so excited I don’t believe I’ve actually done it.”
新娘杜蘭說：「我一直想要在一個不尋常的地方結婚，而這是第一個我一直想要來的地方，我認為在這兒結婚是很令人驚豔的。我非常的興奮，我無法相信我已經實際做到了。」

After the climb, the newlyweds signed their marriage certificates and spent their wedding night at a five-star hotel.
