More than 200 British fans of “Mamma Mia!” are getting married on Greek islands this summer to recreate the wedding scene in their favorite film.

A travel agency offering a special “Mamma Mia! marriage” package is flying couples to Greece for custom-made (定制的) ceremonies with the same country charm as the one featured in the romantic comedy featuring Meryl Streep, Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan.

Jane and Andreas Palikiras, who run London-based Ionian Weddings, say Greek weddings are a “growth industry” and that they had organised more than 100 such ceremonies this summer.

They told the Sunday Times that many British couples are choosing the islands of Skiathos or Skopelos, both of which featured in the box office hit film, and some are insisting on an Abba soundtrack (唱片) to complete the experience.

Sharon Lawrence, 28, a business travel consultant from Colchester, who got married on Skiathos, said, “As soon as I saw the film I thought ‘this is it’ but I didn’t even know which part of Greece it was in.So I got on the Internet and did some research.”

She wed Kevin, a 33 year-old printer, at the town hall on June 2 followed by a reception for 30 similar to the one in the film, which is an adaptation of the successful West End show.

Mr Palikiras said it was not possible to get married in the exact same hilltop chapel (教堂) on Skopelos used in the film because it is too small and is reserved for member of the Greek Orthodox religion.

He said the film had driven up tourism on the islands featured in the films but admitted locals were “probably getting a bit sick of it”.

He added that bookings rose 60% after DVD of the film was released just before Christmas last year.
