London, June 29: Getting hitched in a 17th-century palace might be all super stylish, but from Japan, comes news of a new wedding venue that will surely score even higher - space.

A Japanese wedding company is offering to provide a service that will allow couples to tie the knot in space.

First Advantage will start accepting applications for its "Space Wedding" service from July 1.

The ceremony will take place in 2011 on board the Rocket Plane XP - a craft specially developed by an American company.

The £1.1million service will see you tie the knot in outer space - about 100 kilometres above the earth`s surface.
It also includes a wedding dress, a wedding party on the ground, transportation, accommodation and live broadcasting from space.

As well as the happy couple, the craft will also accommodate a priest, a pilot and two guests. A four-day training period must be undertaken by the couple prior to the hour-long flight.

A company that sends wealthy tourists into space announced recently that it willsend billionaire Google co-founder Sergey Brin to the International Space Station, for the first entirely private flight. Space Adventures Ltd said Brin had paid $5 million to reserve a seat on a future flight.
