Weird and Wonderful Wedding Facts

Was yours a long engagement? A year? Two years, perhaps, while you saved up for the big day? Well, one couple, Octavio Guillen and his bride Adriana had one of the longest engagements, as they took the plunge after 67 years. No sense rushing into things...

The oldest recorded bride was Minnie Munro from Australia, who walked (slowly) down the aisle at 102. Her husband was a mere boy of 82. Cradle-snatcher!

Britain's longest-married couple were James and Sarah-Ann Burgess, who wed in 1883 and stayed together until Sarah-Ann died in 1965. That's 82 years of matrimony! They win the oak.

From long to often. New Yorkers Richard and Carol Roble love marrying each other. They are one of the most wedded couples.  So far, they've taken the vows 55 times - in all the states of America to add a little spice to the proceedings.

Are you planning a big wedding? Lots of guests? Maybe doubling up with a relative in a joint ceremony? You'll never beat the biggest wedding on the planet, when nearly 21,000 Moonie couples got hitched, joined by another 9,800 couples who joined in via satellite.

Weddings cost money, we all know - whether it's fish and chips for twenty or hiring a private island for the week. Let's hope yours won't cost 22 million pounds, like the most expensive wedding where the reception was held in a purpose-built stadium in Dubai to celebrate the nuptials of a sheik's son.

And you may be splashing out on the dress, but it probably won't cost 3.5 million. The world's most expensive wedding dress was designed by a French couturier and is embroidered with diamonds mounted on platinum. Nothing wrong with Debenhams, you know!
