I wish I may, I wish I might.

Naming a star in a distant galaxy for your loved one has gained popularity over the years and is the perfect way to tell your new spouse how they mean the world to you... literally. Register using the Ultimate package at the International Star Registry and you will receive a personalized star chart in a 20" X 16" frame and a match wallet card imprinted with the star name and coordinates. Pick any star name of your choice, but observe the following caveats:

* You may enter up to 35 characters
* ALL UPPER CASE does NOT look good on certificates
* Star names are screened for profanity or inappropriateness (star names are published in our book)

Just keep in mind that you are paying $139 (plus shipping and handling) to name a star; as the ISR will grudgingly admit on it's FAQ page, you don't own the star and the scientific community will not recognize your star name. But you will have that nifty plaque.
