UK Couple Gives New Meaning To Destination Wedding

Simone and Ryan Feeney were wed in a Las Vegas wedding chapel just two days after Ryan popped the question and seven weeks after the couple began dating. To be fair, they’ve worked together for two years at British Standards, but the bride was surprised not only by the proposal, but also by the wedding itself. The prospective groom presented his bride-to-be with a ring on the plane as they flew to Las Vegas, and fellow passengers cheered when Simone said “yes!”

Not wanting to leave their family and friends out of the festivities, the couple planned to marry again in front of family and friends, with just one problem: Ryan’s family is in Turkey, Simone’s mother lives in Melbourne, her father in Florida and all of their friends are in Milton Keynes.

After talking it over, they’ve decided that they’ll simply take their wedding show on the road. The couple has five weddings planned for 2008 in front of family and friends all over the world. Two of the five events have already taken place, with another three on the schedule. The bride will wear a different dress for each event.

After the first wedding in Las Vegas, the pair went to Turkey to celebrate with Ryan’s mother, who organised a wedding in front of 60 guests. Next on the list is a wedding for the couple’s friends in Milton Keynes. The couple is searching for an outdoor venue and when one is located, they’ll marry again there.

In September, the couple will travel to Florida to wed in a beach ceremony and barbeque reception organised by the bride’s father. Finally, a trip to Melbourne and a ceremony organised by the bride’s mother, complete with five bridesmaids, relatives and a reception rounds out the wedding tour.

The bride says that they’ll enjoy a honeymoon after the last wedding in December, quipping that after all of those weddings, they’ll need a vacation.
