For the first time in the UK, couples will be able to get married on the beach. [/caption]\n

Of course it is going to rain tomorrow. ITV's Daybreak have been running a competition to win a beach wedding on Friday 27th April 2012 live on air -  the first wedding on the beach in the UK.

Television coverage will start at 6am, with the actual wedding ceremony taking place at 8am - so make sure you set your alarms and be sure to watch history in the making. Lets hope the bride has packed her wellies!

You can get married in any permanent structure licensed for civil ceremonies, and this is the first time that a beach hut has been a licensed. Although this weekend is set to be a bit of a damp start, we can see Bournemoutth beach being a popular destination for beach weddings in the UK.
