Win VIP tickets

Tokyo A Japanese wedding planner and an American aerospace company have teamed up to offer couples the chance to get married in space.
The ceremony will be conducted during an hour flight on the Rocketplane XP, at an altitude of 100 kilometres (60 miles) above Earth. Included in the package are an original wedding dress, a photo and video album and a certificate.
After four days of rehearsals, the couple – with two guests and a priest – will take a private flight to the spaceport, and guests at a reception hall on the ground will be able to watch a live broadcast of the ceremony. First Advantage, the Japanese company, and Rocketplane, an aerospace firm in Oklahoma City, are scheduled to launch the wedding service in 2011. Couples can begin applying for it from next month if they can pay the £1 million fee.
Cindy Cashman and Mitch Walling, who are Americans, aim to become the first couple to book the service. “I came up with the idea over a year ago,” Ms Cashman said. “While I was meditating an idea popped in my head to be the first person to be married in space, so I started taking action to make my dream a reality. What I needed first was the right man.”
She met Mr Walling in cyberspace, through an online dating agency.
