　　Nepalese girl Moni Mulepati, 24, and her secret beau Pem Dorje Sherpa, 23, created a world record when they tied the knot on Mt Everest.

　　Though husband-wife couples have been making periodic assaults on the 8,848 m peak, this is the first time a pair ever said "I do" on the highest peak in the world.

　　The couple pulled off the feat on Monday, when they submitted the peak as part of the three-member Rotary Centennial Expedition 2005 marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the social service organization. Their romance became public only on Thursday when the team returned home to Kathmandu.
