If you have $2.3 million lying around and are dying to have an out-of-this world wedding, you may be in luck.
A
Japanese company is teaming up with an American firm to offer space
wedding trips for you, your soon-to-be spouse and three guests

sounds like kind-of a rip off to us, considering you spend five days
training only to spend an hour getting married while orbiting the
earth. If we were going to spend $2 million on a space wedding, we damn

is that while outer space has no same-sex marriage laws, one would have
to be married according to his or her state's law, or at least under
the jurisdiction of the officiant. Any legally-minded folk want to help
