World's 10 most bizarre weddings

New Delhi: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something...nude? Every couple dreams of having a killer wedding. In many countries, a wedding day is more than just a celebration of marriage. In fact, a number of cultures and religions have their own way of marking this special occasion and many brides and grooms at home or overseas have gone out of the way to get married. Here we bring to you 10 such couples going extra yards for getting married:1. Ellie Barton and Phil Hendicott decided to spend their wedding in their birthday suits. The pair of exhibitionist Aussies exchanged vows in front of 250 guests wearing nothing more than their wedding rings - and a bouquet of strategically-placed roses. The only thing she really wore besides the bouquet was a long white wedding veil. Phil Hendicott wore nothing but a black top hat to cover his manhood. The wedding ceremony was conducted in the morning, live on FM radio to hundreds of thousands of Australians. 2. Sergey Kaunov, a member of a local winter swimmers' club, carries his bride Irina Kuzmenko out of water as they celebrate their wedding on the bank of Yenisey River where the air temperature was about -30 degrees Celsius in the Russia's Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk. Irina does not practice winter bathing, but she did it on the day of their wedding after heating up in a sauna. 3. Thai groom Prasit Rangsiyawong kisses his bride Varuttaon Rangsiyawong during a wedding ceremony ahead of Valentine's Day in Prachin Buri province, east of Bangkok. Three Thai couples took part in the wedding ceremony arranged by a Thai resort, aimed to strengthen the relationships of the couples by doing fun activities. 4. Yevgeni Okayevich and his bride Galina Grann ride their motorbikes during their wedding in central Kiev. Picture taken July 5, 2008. 5. Divers posing as Bride and Groom swim inside an aquarium at an ocean park during an event to celebrate the month of June, the most popular month to wed in Manila. 6. Ramoncito Campo kisses his wife Hernelie Ruazol Campo on a flooded street during a southwest monsoon that battered Manila August 8, 2012. The newly-wed couple pushed through with their scheduled wedding despite severe flooding that inundated wide areas of the capital and nearby nine provinces. 7. A couple of bicycle lovers decided to tie the knot in a very unusual but healthy way: by riding bicycles all over the city, accompanied of course by their cyclist guests. 8. Groom Xiao Wang spent a year's salary on buying 99,999 red roses for his bride, Xiao Liu, for their wedding conducted in Chongqing, central China, where the number 999 is considered to be a good luck omen. The couple, both 24 years old, needed 30 cars to take the flowers to the service. 9. Bride Erin Finnegan and bridegroom Noah Fulmor, both of New York, are helped by Zero Gravity Corporation co-founder Richard Garriott and Bryan Rapoza as they seal their wedding with a kiss, while floating upside down, during the first weightless wedding aboard a specially-equipped Boeing 727, while flying over the Gulf of Mexico after taking off from Titusville, Florida. 10. The bride from Guangzhou, China, set the world's longest bridal train record at 219 yards. The Chinese bride accented her gown with a train that was over 600 ft long and weighed over 220 lbs.
