North Dakota couple chases world record with vow renewals, water slides
A North Dakota couple renewed vows for the sixth time in June, then rode a Wisconsin Dells slide nine times while chasing two Guinness World Records.
At Land of Natura water park in Wisconsin Dells, Jon and Keisha Lakoduk renewed their vows for the sixth time in June and rode the slide nine times, turning their marriage into a bid for two Guinness World Records. The North Dakota couple is trying to set a mark for the most vow renewals in a 30-day period while also pursuing the record for the most times a bride has gone down a water slide in a wedding dress.
Their latest ceremony took place June 23, 2026, at Land of Natura water park in Wisconsin Dells, a stop they chose in the “Waterpark Capital of the World.” Jon Lakoduk said the touring ceremony format gives the couple more time with family and friends at each stop, about three to four hours, rather than the five to 10 minutes that usually follow a wedding.
The Lakoduks have already taken their vows on the road through Idaho, Arizona, Las Vegas, North Dakota and Utah. More stops were planned in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada, as they worked to bring relatives and friends into the celebration across a wider stretch of the United States and beyond.
Guinness World Records' wedding archive includes a wedding held 450 feet underground at Llechwedd Slate Caverns in Blenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, in the United Kingdom, along with the largest dog wedding ceremony and a 9.7-kilometer royal wedding parade for Prince Hussein bin Abdullah and Princess Rajwa Al Hussein.
