Love is literally in the air in this Southwest Airlines flight.
As shared by the airlines' official Facebook account, Jeremy Salda and Pam Salda (nee Patterson) were on their way to get married in Las Vegas when their connecting flight - by Southwest's competitor, mind you - was canceled abruptly. Thankfully, a kind soul - who happened to be a minister - helped them get another flight with Southwest just less than an hour before it took off.
On the air, the couple suddenly got a crazy idea to just officiate the wedding then and there. After all, the bride and groom were already in their wedding attire. Everyone aboard was immediately onboard : they dressed the minister who helped them get a flight for the occasion, a professional photographer took the wedding pictures, and one of the flight attendants acted as the maid of honor. With preparations in place, Pam walked down the plane’s aisle with the passengers as their witnesses.
In a statement to NBC News, the airline company had this to say : "Southwest has been the love airline for nearly 51 years, and we always enjoy an opportunity to celebrate our customers in special ways.”
