Most wedding vows renewals: Mark and Denise Duffield-Thomas set world record
CAIRNS, Australia--Mark and Denise Duffield-Thomas; visited 10 countries in four continents, sampling the most romantic locations and enjoying once-in-a-lifetime experiences in each destination - by getting married 85 times and setting the new world record for the Most Wedding Vow Renewals by One Couple.

The previous Guinness world record for the Most Wedding Vow Renewals by One Couple was 83.

They were the winners of Runaway Bride and Groom's "Honeymoon Testers" competition.

"We're the happiest couple in the world," says Denise, 31. "Every day is a honeymoon."

Last year they spotted the competition for the Runaway Bride and Groom company on the internet and won against 30,000 other entrants. They gave up their marketing jobs in London and started their new "career". Six months later they have finished the last leg of their trip in Australia with an aboriginal ceremony in Queensland - adorned with face paint and cockatoo feathers.

They have said 'I do' whilst on roller skates in Brisbane (renewal number 78); whilst knee-deep in a lagoon surrounded by tropical fish and a friendly shark named Bruce (renewal number 79); floating on li-los at Peppers Beach Club in Port Douglas (renewal number 83) and in a hilarious Castaway- themed clifftop wedding at Thala Beach Lodge (renewal number 82).

They were transported to ceremony number 77 by the popular Tamborine Mountain Tours trolley bus, whilst a classic 1963 Silver Cloud Rolls Royce delivered them to the chapel for renewal number 81 on luxurious Hayman Island in the Whitsundays. Renewal number 80 was taken at sea on the Great Barrier Reef, where the couple celebrated by sliding down a giant waterslide into the ocean in their wedding clothes.

Australia's Queensland was the last stop on their trip and the pair managed to seal the new record in a traditional Aboriginal ceremony in Tjapukai cultural park near Cairns.

They threw in an extra renewal live on a Brisbane radio station, where they had been telling listeners how other renewal ceremonies took place in a variety of exciting locations.

These included swimming in a lagoon surrounded by tropical fish and a friendly shark, a Castaway-themed cliff top wedding at Thala Beach lodge and roller skating in Brisbane.

  Mark and Denise Duffield-Thomas won a trip to ten countries across four continents after RunawayBrideandGroom.com appealed for "honeymoon testers". They were asked to attempt to break the Guinness world record for most wedding vows, which previously stood at 83.

   As part of the "job" they travel the world check out romantic destinations, write a daily 300-word blog, and write for the Irish Times newspaper. Over 15,000 couples applied for the job.

   Australia's Queensland was the last stop on their trip and the pair managed to seal the new record in a traditional Aboriginal ceremony in Tjapukai cultural park near Cairns.

Their 85th wedding won them a place in the Guinness World Records but, while they are going back to their day jobs for now, they are not totally against the idea of yet another wedding.
