Cheetah Platt and Rhiann Woodyard are on an amazing wedding adventure.

They are getting married in 11 countries , 38 times over the period of 83 days.

So on Feb 8, the couple packed their backpacks to start the incredible wedding adventures across the world.

 Before they left, they were officially ordained in the Church of Spiritual Humanism, so that they can perform their own self unifying ceremonies.

“It was exactly what i wanted, to travel the world with my wife and marry her again and again and again in so many different ways.”
