British golfer Nick Faldo's plan to build a temple of love as the site of his third wedding has been rejected by his local council.
The £50,000 ($168,000) temple, was to have been built on the 2ha grounds of Faldo's property in Old Windsor, to the west of London. But the
Royal Borough of Windsor and Berkshire said the 4m-by-8m temple would have clashed with the 18th-century mansion.
Faldo, aged 43, will now need to find another venue for his marriage to Swiss public relations executive Valerie Bercher, 27, scheduled for July 28.
The couple had applied to knock down a wooden hut at the end of the garden to make way for the love temple, which would have featured the bust of Greek sun god Apollo and Roman goddess of light Diana, and a selection of philosophical poetry on the walls.
