Like Nothing on Earth


If you really do want a wedding that's out of this world then if you have 1.1million to spare you can literally have it. A Japanese company called First Advantage has teamed up with American aerospace firm Rocketplane to offer the first space weddings.

If you dream of saying your vows while orbiting the earth, 100km up in the sky, you can sign up now for the first voyages which will begin in 2011. Time to start saving!

Personally, I prefer something a little bit more down to earth, with my feet on the ground-in every sense. Wedding vows are hard enough to grasp and fully take in at the best of times. What chance do you have of fully being in the moment with all that going on. And, won't the wedding party be just a little bit distracted knowing that they can glance out the window and get a bird's eye view of our beautiful world below them.

I think it's a great idea -I do, but there is a very real danger of the wedding ceremony being eclipsed by the actual trip into space-know what I mean? Why not save such mind blowing adventure until the honeymoon stage or at least the wedding equivalent of the after party.

Certainly doesn't agree with my keep it simple mantra does it?!
