Who says weddings have to happen on solid ground? For one couple, getting married meant doing it literally in the clouds. Tina and Roger turned a Southwest flight into a love-filled celebration and a video

\n\n

of their marriage has now gained widespread attention on TikTok and other social media platforms.

But as the video spread, opinions split between ‘aww, how cute’ and ‘wait, I wouldn’t want to be trapped on a plane for this.’

Wedding In Southwest Airline

The clip opens with a flight attendant addressing passengers over the intercom: “As you all know Southwest is the love airline and today love is in the air. We have a couple, Tina and Roger, who are about to quite literally walk down the aisle on this flight and all of you are invited to the wedding.”

\n\n

Passengers were asked to “please remain seated as a courtesy to the bride and groom, and if you do have to use the lavatory, please use the one in the back of the aircraft.”

The ceremony began with Tina who made her way down the aisle carrying bright orange flowers while her soon-to-be husband, Roger, waited in a matching orange shirt and tie.

Then the officiant spoke, “Tina and Roger, today is a day unlike any other. Not only are you embarking on an adventure of marriage, but you’re doing it amidst the clouds, surrounded by 136 passengers turned to newfound friends.” She continued, “They say love knows no boundaries and indeed, thanks to Southwest, it now knows no altitude.”

\n\n

The big moment came: “Roger, do you take Tina to be your lawfully wedded wife? And Tina, do you want Roger to be your lawfully wedded husband?” Both answered yes. They kissed each other as the passengers erupted in applause.

The couple high-fived passengers on the way back down the aisle. The bride also tosses her bouquet and a female passenger grabs it from the floor. The celebration ended on the ground with the couple riding an airport cart decked out with a “Just Married” sign while pink streamers and hearts decorated the jetway.

Internet Divided Over Plane Wedding

Not everyone was charmed by the flying wedding with one user commenting, “I gotta say- if they wanted to charter a plane or buy a plane out and fill it with their friends that’s one thing- but to force strangers into ‘attending’ a wedding- it’s weirdly obtrusive and obnoxious- not cutesy but offensive – it’s bullying 130 people to witnessing a gum chewing groom. I’d request my money back. It’s gross – other groups will try this, or worse how about a Prom night? Bad precedent being set.”

\n\n

Another added, “I would mind my business but it’s definitely annoying as it was clearly planned. This is stupid and not gonna lie I would be annoyed as f***. Don’t trap me into attending your sham bulls***.”

“This is why I fly Delta. Passengers don’t need to be victims of a cringe stunt like this,” read another comment.

But some defended the couple. A person wrote, “Fine by me. It’s someone’s once in a lifetime. Maybe they had no one else to celebrate with? I don’t see people getting mad at public marriage proposals.”

\n\n

“As long as nobody expects me to stay awake for it, I usually sleep on planes,” a viewer shared.

Someone added, “I would sue them.”

You Can’t Just Say ‘I Do’ Anywhere

While a sky-high wedding may look dreamy, it is not as simple legally as it seems. Casey Greenfield, a New York lawyer, told Conde Nast Traveler that there are many “myths around getting married in the air” including the idea that pilots can legally officiate a wedding.

For couples hoping to marry at 30,000 feet, it is safest to stick to domestic US flights. International airspace can complicate things as sometimes it requires the couple to be residents of the country whose airspace they are flying in, according to New York Post citing Simple Flying.
