-- According to an AP report, author and motivational speaker, Cindy Cashman and her airline pilot fiancé want to get married in space.

Cashman has received backing from the Rocketplane Kistler company based in Oklahoma. This company hopes to offer commercial space flights to the public within a couple of years.

Now the couple has the challenge to come up with the funds to pay for the cost of an approximate $500,000 space flight. Cashman is seeking sponsors to help them out with the cost.

Cashman is also trying to figure out how she can wear a wedding dress that won't float up in space.

In 2003, Russian cosmonaut and commander of the International Space Station, Yury Malenchenko, wed his earth-bound bride via satellite transmissions. They were the first couple to be "married in space."

However, if Cashman and her fiancé accomplish their "out of this world" wedding feat, they will then become the first couple to physically be wed in the same location at the same time, that is, in "outer space."
