Instead of a traditional wedding, they took an oath on the Constitution, which is like a rulebook for the country.
They also donated blood and asked their guests to do the same.
The couple met a few years ago at a seminar.
The woman's mother, who is a retired government worker and a writer, helped organize this unique wedding.
