( CNN ) -- They met at a country bar in Utah . She was riding a mechanical bull , and he could n't help jumping on the saddle with her . The relationship started there , and the couple took it to new heights on their wedding day by tossing the bride 's bouquet and garter from a `` human slingshot . '' Jacob and Natasha Johnson wanted to replicate the experience of a mechanical bull at their July 13 wedding . But their parents worried it was too `` redneck . '' Luckily , they decided to hold their wedding at Hobble Creek Lodge in Springville , home of `` Utah 's human slingshot . '' At first they thought it was a joke , but a bit of research showed that others had used it before . They decided to go for it . A YouTube video posted by wedding guest Colton Spencer shows the bride , still in a fluffy gown , strapped to a red rubber slingshot , her feet attached to an ATV with a stretchy cord . The groom drives the four-wheeler down the lawn and releases the cord to fling his bride through the air . Natasha says she was terrified but not necessarily for her safety . `` I was afraid of ripping my dress , '' she said . She wore shorts to ensure she would n't flash guests when launched in the air . They practiced the night before , but it still took two tries to successfully launch her because she was `` 20 pounds heavier '' while wearing the gown . Reception guests were alerted before the launch began and gathered around . With Beyonce 's `` Single Ladies ( Put a Ring on It ) '' playing in the background , Natasha sailed through the air and threw her bouquet back to a crowd of eager women . `` All of the ladies were waiting and my girlfriend and niece argued when my niece caught the bouquet , '' she laughed . Then , it was Jacob 's turn . He was nervous about being strapped to the slingshot for other reasons : `` I turned around and saw Tasha 's dad driving the ATV . '' The couple says the video has garnered international attention with people expressing shock and delight over the different take on a wedding tradition . Guests will always remember the slingshot , Natasha says , but it was n't the only exciting moment of the fun-filled night . `` The groomsmen decided to go skinny dipping in the pond , '' Natasha said . `` Jacob did n't want to tell that . '' The couple is enjoying married life and says life is back to normal , with a few extra interview requests . `` We 're just having fun with it , '' Jacob says . What else but fun would you expect from these newlyweds ?
Newlyweds chose a `` human slingshot '' to make their wedding day memorable . Bride Natasha Johnson threw her bouquet while in the sling , groom Jacob threw the garter . The couple were married at the Church of St. Luke and St. Paul on Saturday morning with family members from all over the country watching on.
