This is way cool and I just had to blog about this in the middle of cooking tea for the family!
I saw on the news that a British couple, Darren and Katie McWalters tied the knot while wing walking. What is wing walking you ask? According to Wikipedia, Wing Walking is “the act of moving on the wings of an airplane during flight”
Even their minister who tied the knot was on top of a plane to marry them. Amazing eh?
A daring couple had their head in the clouds as they married on top of the wings of three planes today - 1,000 feet above the ground.
Groom Darren McWalters, 24, stood on the top wing of a biplane while his bride Katie Hodgson, 23, flew along side on the wing of an identical aircraft - dressed in full bridal gown.
Rev George Bringham flew ahead of the couple on the wings of a third aircraft and brought the Lancashire couple together in holy matrimony over an airborne communications system.
The ceremony was played through loud speakers throughout RFC Rendcomb Airfield, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, to the congregation waiting on the ground below.
Jets of white smoke fired from the back of the aeroplane as the couple exchanged their vows in mid-air.
Heavy winds and rain cut the flight short and the couple, from Leyland, were rushed inside.
Fitness Instructor Mr McWalters said: ‘We got engaged in the Brazilian rain forest and I wanted a wedding blessing that would top my proposal.
‘It was unbelievable. Looking down and seeing my family and friends below was just incredible.I’m lost for words.’
Postwoman Ms Hodgson said when she was a young girl she never imagined she would wed on the wings of a plane.
