Most newlyweds whisk themselves away to a beach, or retreat to a luxurious hotel room.
But Kat and Steve Turner took a slightly different approach.
After tying the knot, they embarked on a two-year honeymoon, riding 20,000 miles around the globe on a tandem.
Newlyweds Kat and Steve Turner flew to Bigbury Bay, New Zealand, for their wedding reception in August 2011. Today they cycled into Plymouth, 674 days after setting off on their trusty tandem bike, Hooch

The couple, from London, set off from New Zealand in April 2012 and have spent 674 days pedalling the same bike home across three continents.

Yesterday, the intrepid couple finally set foot on British soil after travelling through rainforests, deserts, floods and even earthquakes.
Their journey took them through New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Greece, Italy and France.
