If you’ve ever flown to Vegas, you know that the flights tend to be a little more wild than your typical flight from Denver to Salt Lake City. But this one tops the cake! A recent Southwest Airlines flight hosted a wedding with creative decorations and an interesting backstory.
The Inflight Wedding Wasn’t Planned
Pam and Jeremy were flying on a different airline when their flight was cancelled at DFW. According to the post on Southwest’s Instagram account, a fellow passenger overheard that they had a wedding appointment planned in Vegas later that day. He mentioned to them that they could still make it as Southwest had flights to Vegas from Dallas Love Field. So they made the 9 mile trek across town to catch a Southwest flight. That fellow passenger turned out to be a guy named Chris. Chris was also an ordained minister.
Southwest Airlines Pilot Noticed Her Carrying Her Dress…The rest is history
When she boarded her flight, the captain noticed Pam carrying her dress. Pam explained her challenging journey and and joked that she should just get married on the flight. The pilot said, “let’s do it!”
After takeoff, the flight attendants hung up toilet paper streamers near the bulkhead, turned out all the blue call buttons to light the aisle, and started playing “Here comes the bride” on the speaker from their cell phone. The bride and groom changed into their wedding clothes and the officiant received a sash for the ceremony made out of swizzle sticks and snack pouches. A photographer was even on the flight and available to capture the moment. The wedding venue was set. What followed was a very cute wedding complete with a captive audience capturing the moment on video.
Bride Made Some Funny Airborne Quips In Her Wedding Vows
The bride and groom took in the moment. 625 days earlier they met on Bumble. Jeremy said that Pam is the “best thing to ever happen to me.” As Pam said her wedding vows, she added that she loves her with her now husband with her whole heart. She said she can’t wait to be Jeremy’s “copilot through life. She’ll be his cross to the crosscheck. And any turbulence, I want to weather it with you.”
It’s a great post by Southwest Airlines. Known for being a bit unconventional, they’ve held concerts in the skies with famous artists. They are also known for their flight attendants dressing up for holidays like Halloween and Christmas. This is the first time we’ve seen a full wedding in the skies. Best of luck to the couple!
