One unknown couple are planning wedding ideas that are quite literally out of this world, it has been revealed.

Next year, Virgin boss Richard Branson is to be the first man to marry a couple in space.

Sure to be one of the most unusual wedding albums ever, the couple in question have not yet been disclosed, but with the tickets costing $200,000 (£101,111) each, they are sure to be a fairly affluent pair.

Virgin Galactic adviser George Whitesides and his new wife have allegedly purchased tickets for the sun-orbital trip next year as their honeymoon and according to the Daily Mail, Princess Beatrice has claimed she will be the first Royal in space.

Last year, Branson conducted a wedding ceremony for a couple on a Virgin flight between San Francisco and Las Vegas.

According to Alliance & Leicester, the average couple spends around £2,752 on the actual wedding ceremony itself.
