PRAGUE (AFP) — Czech skier Vaclav Sura, who has undertaken a Polar expedition, got married in a refrigerated warehouse in sub-zero temperatures but it was not cool enough for him, press reports said Tuesday.

Sura tied the knot at minus 30 degrees Celsius (minus 22 Fahrenheit).

"It would have been better at minus 50 degrees and with winds," said the 42-year-old who staged an expedition to the North Pole in May 2005.

The guests sported anoraks and snowboots and all the flowers and accessories were specially chosen to withstand the cold. The venue was festooned with photographs from Sura's expedition.
