So we’re still in Autumn, but a lot of skiers and boarding fanatics have already started planning the start of the new ski season. Some eager couples take the passion for snow a little further and have chosen to hold their wedding in the ski resort

www.skiweddings.com organise weddings in the mountains of Europe, and have been do so for the past 6 years.

With stories of grooms breaking legs on the eve of their wedding day, perhaps a skiing wedding is not for everyone. Says Roger Walker of skiweddings.com “We’ve had couples turn up with 110 guests and others that get married alone. One couple turned yo in their ski gear, used our staff as witnesses and dashed off to carry on skiing”.  Sounds like good fun, for some people that is.

Whatever floats your boat for your wedding venue.

Fighter Jets – Ever thought of breaking the sound barrier on your wedding day ?

Don’t worry about taking a witness – that role is done by the pilot. www.worldreviewer.com

Locked together – Seemingly pointless ceremony in Lovelock, Nevada where you can exchange vows in their “circle of love”. Basically it’s a circle of metal pillars, linked by chains. The idea is that couples place a lock on a chain and keep the keys as a reminder of their love.
