The bride stood atop a halfpipe in her long, flowing wedding dress urging her new husband to jump over her.

The groom, wearing a suit and sitting astride a BMX bike, wanted to oblige but thought better of it.

Krystal Marshall, now Krystal Deboer, was over the moon on her wedding day and was perfectly fine if her new hubby, Jon Deboer, wanted to be over the moon himself and get massive air in leaping over his bride.

The pair had been married less than three hours, at Reheboth Canadian Reformed Church on Dundas Street, when they headed out to Norton Community Park, across from Dr. Frank J. Hayden high school, to partake in some BMX riding at the skatepark.

With their wedding day photographer in tow, the newlyweds posed for some still pictures. However, most of the 20-minute detour to the park was dedicated to Jon making big jumps in front of his wife and also doing some stalls atop the half pipe and getting a kiss.

The couple, lifelong local residents, said they came up with the idea of taking photos at the popular skateboard park about a month ago.

About a dozen skateboarding teens and pre-teens gave Jon some space to do his riding and jumping.

“The first picture I saw of him (Jon) he was on a bike…. I can’t ride a bike to save my life,” laughed Krystal, 25, an employee of Ryder truck rentals.

Jon, 27, a data analyst for the software development company Indellient, has been riding BMX bikes since he was in Grade 7. He gets out to the Norton park, and Shell Park in Oakville, 1-2 times a week. He is self-taught and doesn’t compete.

Jon said he could have jumped over Krystal safely, but on another day, and in more appropriate clothes.
