London - A Romanian groom is trying to pay for his marriage by selling advertising space on his wedding tie.

Tudor Ciora, 26, from Sibiu, has set up a website for bidders - and reckons he'll easily pay for the ceremony and some special presents.

Companies can pay €20 for a slot near the top of his tie, €15 for one in the middle or just €10 to have their name at the bottom of the tie.

Ciora's website - www.cravatamea.com - keeps a running total of all bids.

"Hopefully we'll raise enough money to buy a new car as well," he explained. - Ananova.com
