Happy couples can now say 'I do' on board one of Britain's most celebrated icons - the Concorde. Based at the Brooklands Museum in Weybridge, Surrey, the county council has licensed the passenger jet for marriages and civil partnership ceremonies. The license was given 40 years after Concorde made its first supersonic flight on October 1st, 1969. There will be room for a wedding party of 32 on board the plane, but sadly airline meals won't be included.
Concorde business manager Jan Knott said: "When Concorde was in service, requests were received weekly from people who wanted to get married on board. They couldn't then but they can now."
Couples who tie the knot on the jet can experience the same luxury once enjoyed by the likes of Madonna, Elton John and Paul McCartney on transatlantic flights.
Surrey county councillor, Denise Saliagopoulos, said: "We were more than happy to provide a civil wedding license that will mean this much-loved icon of the air can continue to be a place for happy memories long into its retirement."

Brides often want that extra touch of luxury on the morning of their wedding, so hairdressing group, seanhanna salons, has introduced its 'bridal hair car service', designed to take away any unnecessary stresses.
A classic Bentley will pick up the bride/bridal party from their home and whisk them off to the nearest seanhanna salon. There they will be greeted with a glass of bubbly, while the stylists at seanhanna create a beautiful wedding day style. Once the hair is styled, and looking fabulous, the bride will be driven back to her home where she can get dressed and look forward to saying I do.
Prices start from £360, and the service also includes a free consultation appointment before the wedding day. Seanhanna has seven salons nationwide, including ones in Worcester Park, Epsom, Sutton and Croydon.

Two companies have combined forces to launch wedding venues at two of the county's schools. Reveries, a wedding and events company, and Chez Vous caterers will be working together to plan dream weddings for their clients.
They're holding wedding open days at both venues; the first at Manor House School in Little Bookham takes place on 15th November, from 12pm-4pm, and at Caterham School on Sunday 22nd November, from 12pm-4pm.
Couples will be able to view the venues and grounds and will be able to discuss their big day with both companies. The first five couples to book their wedding will receive a 10 per cent discount off the venue hire, catering and venue styling.
