They say that text messaging has been such a big part of their relationship that it seemed natural to get married that way.

Ingrid Peeters, 43, even proposed to Ronald Bollen, 39, by text message after they had been together for ten years.

They will exhange vows by phone, then sign the wedding registry in the traditional way.

Ronald spends about six months a year on tour buses in Europe with American and Japanese tourists, so he sometimes sends up to 10 text messages a day to his fiance.
