Wow. I wish I could have been married in outer space.

Want to exchange your wedding vows in space? Well, Virgin Galactic founder Sir Richard Branson is planning to offer you that opportunity.

Apparently, Branson has been ordained to conduct such ceremonies, and has participated in several interesting weddings, including one in midair from San Francisco to Las Vegas.

His Virgin Galactic company will now allow him to extend this activity into a realm where no couple has gone before.

The wedding on a Virgin jet

A spokesman for Virgin Galactic said "We have had two bookings involving marriage, one to get married in space and the other for the couple to have their honeymoon in space.

According to The Daily Mail, the Virgin Galactic space project is booking passengers left and right, and will start flying them into orbit this summer.

As a space buff, I could have gone for a space wedding. Jeannie, on the other hand. . .
