Default Weddings on Airlines now.....

Good Lord!, What next
Quote:
THE bride will walk down the aisle - but won't push the dinner trolley - and the bridesmaids will be dressed identically in their cabin crew uniforms.
If it sounds like an episode of Kath and Kim - guess again.
Brisbane couple Jenny Huntingford and Ettore Rapino will tie the knot tomorrow aboard a Virgin Blue aircraft on the tarmac at Brisbane Airport, followed by a reception in the airline's lounge.
And if that wasn't enough the cake will be in the shape of a plane and guests will be issued with special boarding passes for flight DJ LFM - love forever more.
The only thing that will be missing is the empty cans tied to the tail of the aircraft - the couple will have to settle for a 'just married' sign on the side of the plane.
"I think the couple are fans of Virgin Blue. It's the second time round for both of them and I think they wanted to have some fun with it," Virgin Blue spokeswoman Leonie Vandeven said.
"We get a lot of inquiries for proposals but this is the first request for a wedding."
"We thought it was too fun to pass up and if we can make someone's day extra special then why not."
Ms Vandeven said it had taken three to four months to plan as aircraft are usually not on the tarmac for long enough to hold a wedding ceremony.
"It's unusual, we're not aware of a wedding being held on an aircraft in Australia. It's certainly a first for Virgin Blue," Ms Vandeven said.

Are they going to cut the cake with a plastic knife?

It'd be a boring world if everyone was the same.

If this is their dream wedding, well best of luck to them and i hope the day is memorable.

"...Sorry guys, I've just had an aeroplane break down on me and I need the one you're in for a couple of sectors to Melbourne and back... you can have it back soon..."
