[PHOTOS] Couple, Who Got Married 66 Times Around The Globe, Plan Their 67th In New Zealand

A couple who have already said 'I do' 66 times around the globe are planning a new wedding in New Zealand and Australia in their quest to find the perfect location to officially exchange their vows.

Alex Pelling and Lisa Gant, from Manchester, northern England, have been on a blissful mission for the past three and a half years and are now in New Zealand traveling down to Queenstown, in the South Island, to get married on January 28.

Lisa, 32, and Alex, 34, had been friends for eight years when they began dating in 2008.

The couple, who have a Facebook page and blog documenting their expedition, came up with the idea when they decided to move to Australia.

The journey has taken a lot longer than they expected but the couple will finally arrive in the land Down Under in early February.

'We fly into Melbourne and first go across to Western Australia before going down the east coast,' she said.

The travelers, who have quit their jobs and sold their properties, said that they are relying on the goodwill of friends and strangers all over the world to help them out in their challenge.

Lisa quit her job as a retail manager for Marks and Spencer while Alex sold his car body repair business.

They travel in a campervan, which has become their home.

Their blog has had millions of views, and their Facebook page has more than 47,000 followers, as they experience the wonderful variety of cultures and traditions around the world.

The next and final stop on their adventure will be Singapore before deciding on which location - out of all 69 - will be the most idyllic to officially become husband and wife.

The adventurous couple have had a traditional wedding ceremony in every destination they have visited.

Their aim was to find the most exceptional and unique wedding locations possible, blogging about their experiences so others could better chose where to tie the knot themselves.

The couple have experienced a vast range of unorthodox ceremonies in more than 30 countries, including a vampire wedding in LA.

They have also enjoyed their 'big day' in destinations most people can only dream about, such as Las Vegas, New York, Hawaii, Marrakech and Bora Bora.

They've tied the knot in an ancient Pagan ritual in Lithuania, and even had a topless Embera tribe wedding in Embera, Panama where they were painted with traditional tribal tattoo designs and beads.

Their experiences have been supported by local experts including shamans, Zulu chiefs in South Africa, pastors, vicars, rabbis and even a Voodoo priestess.

They even got married 30,000 feet above ground on board a flight to Tahiti.

Each wedding, along with its preparation is captured by a photographer, who also shares their experience on the couple's website.

Their first wedding was a traditional English ceremony in Manchester, attended by 40 of their closest friends.
