Stephen Carpenter, from Caerphilly, and Eric Bourne, from Rochford, Essex, tied the knot on board RRS Sir David Attenborough, which they are stewards on.

The couple, who have been together for 20 years, shared their special day with the 30 crew of the UK's new polar ship.

Captain Will Whatley performed the wedding ceremony on the ship's helideck as the sun shone.

Isn't that sweet.

Is this going to be the next destination wedding thing?

 

[Charon]

Seems gimmicky, tbh. Next up, the first gay wedding on the moon.

Good for them for getting married, though.

Congratulations to the frigid couple

They both work in the Antartic so it seems sensible

Yes. I played dueling banjos at the reception.
