Wedding on eBay

A couple who have been caught out in the recession in the middle of planning their dream wedding are now selling shares in it on eBay to help them pay for the costs.

They are appealing for complete stranges to buy a £10 share in their wedding in return for a picture on the day and a thank you card, reports Sky News.

Now, call me a cynic if you like - but unfortunate circumstances or not - if you can't afford to spend £11,000 on a wedding - which is what they are planning - surely you would revise your expectations and plan a do that is more on a budget you can afford?

Or is that just too sensible and boring?

I really want to go on a top class round-the-world cruise with a few mates - but have managed to spend all my holiday money this year on my motorbike hobby - who wants to pay for me to live the dream?
