If I was stupid enough to actually get married again (done it once) I'd quite like the idea of a train. Perhaps a pacer between Carnforth and Settle Shake rattle 'n' roll.
I'd hire the thumper. No question.

Avanti have very much adopted the Virgin philosophy though, haven’t they? When the execs don’t change, the culture isn’t going to either.
All the trimmings thrown in for nothing?My question is why on earth would you ever want the ceremony of the supposed happiest day of your life performed on a Pendolino or any busy train
Probably the same trimmings that youAll the trimmings thrown in for nothing?
Not really. OH is a wedding planner and celebrant. Many wedding venues offer a ceremony now that isn’t legally binding and conducted by a celebrant. This is an increasingly popular option. It’s always made very clear that the couple also need to arrange either a Registry Office or church wedding either before or after to complete the legal bits, this can be done at very small scale (couple plus 2 witnesses) and as a consequence very low cost.Don't think this has been posted before, check out:

After reading the small print I found this:
A bit misleading to me.
But hey ho, free Avanti 'stunning cake' and champagne I guess for the lucky winners!
Laura is lovely, very happy she won.Avanti have picked a winner, and the winner has posted to TikTok! She sounds very excited - good on Avanti for doing this.

Let loose in the Caboose?Presumably the prize didn't include a reception and the chance to boogie over the bogie.
I was on the last ever Virgin train, to which we were treated to champagne, served in a paper cup…All the trimmings thrown in for nothing?
If we are allowed Eurotunnel locos:Princess Arthur of Connaught (1912-1959) was one person. Before marrying Prince Arthur of Connaught she was plain Lady Alexandra Duff. ("Lady" as her father was a Duke). She wouldn't be styled "Princess Alexandra", because she was only a princess by marriage, not by birth. (Hence, e.g "Diana, Princess of Wales", not "Princess Diana")
The Welshpool & Llanfair railway's original locomotives are called the Earl and The Countess, after the 4th Earl of Powys and his wife, who were strong supporters of the construction of the line.
And a tweet from one of the couple:Congratulations to Laura and Jane - this is peak wedding goals#MarriageCarriage
Now it's past 9am I can actually talk about and share info about my train wedding on social media. So yeah, yesterday me and Jane had an all expenses paid wedding on a train. I'm autistic, and have a special interest in trains, so this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Can’t help but feel that Laura and Jane were top of the pack ahead of many heterosexual couples… but I’m in that sort of mood today.A rail-crazy couple have tied the knot in their "dream" place - onboard a train.
Laura Dale and Jane Magnet travelled on the West Coast Main Line when they first met, so winning a competition to have their wedding on a train was a "dream come true".
The newlyweds, from Surrey, beat 150 other entries for the opportunity to say "I do" on an Avanti West Coast service.
It looks like it was 390141 - 9G16 1059 London Euston to Birmingham New StreetWas the unit involved 390119? That would be a nice touch...and go along with the colourful dresses!
It was the plan but was unavailable on the day.Was the unit involved 390119? That would be a nice touch...and go along with the colourful dresses!
Sadly I suspect you're right.A very moving service: Rail enthusiasts get married on train from London Euston
When their special day finally arrived on Tuesday, Laura Dale and Jane Magnet, were given a champagne reception at London Euston before boarding a Pendolino carriage decorated with flowers.news.sky.com

I don’t believe the ‘ceremony’ on the train was legally bindingI think weddings have been conducted at some Heritage Railways before (but not on a moving train) but i wonder if this is the first time it has happened on the ordinary mainline railway.
