You might think beach and outdoor weddings are totally out-of-the-box but here's a raincheck - daring couples are ditching the beaches and heading to volcanoes, mountains and forests to make their D-day memorable.

If you’re struggling to find your dream wedding destination then we suggest you ditch the norms, cross traditional chapels off your list and head to some of the most stunning wedding locations around the globe. Here, we've rounded up 10 of the most unusually breathtaking venues where folks are tying the knot.

1. Underwater - possibly with sharks

3. Up in the sky

You might have to cross off the long guest list but marrying 164 ft up in the sky is definitely worth a few angry relatives. The concept of wedding in the sky is pretty popular in many countries and some brave couples even take the plunge—with a bungee jump off the platform.
