Passengers on a flight in the United States were given an unexpected show when a couple got married on the plane.<\/p>\n
Tourists travelling from Texas to Las Vegas on April 24 became involved in an impromptu wedding ceremony in the air, reports Tyla.<\/p>\n
Couple Pam Patterson and Jeremy Sala were married aboard Southwest Flight 2690.<\/p>\n
The duo\u2019s earlier American Airlines flight from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport had been cancelled due to bad weather.<\/p>\n
This meant that Pam and Jeremy would miss their chapel appointment in Nevada\u2019s Sin City.<\/p>\n
Seeing the couple dressed in their wedding clothes at the airport \u2013 and seeming to get more anxious with each minute \u2013 fellow passenger Chris came up with a solution.<\/p>\n
It turned out that Chris was an ordained minister and so he offered to marry the pair himself when they got to their destination.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The trio headed to the Southwest site and bought the last three seats on the almost full flight to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Upon boarding the plane, the pilot, Captain Gil, noticed Pam\u2019s wedding dress and said that they could get married there and then on the flight.<\/p>\n
The airline crew decorated the cabin with toilet paper streamers and cave the minister a sash made of snacks.<\/p>\n
Plus, one of the flight attendants acted as Pam\u2019s maid of honour.<\/p>\n
A photographer on board the flight took some wedding snaps of the happy couple while another passenger handed round a notebook for all the \u201cguests\u201d to sign with well wishes.<\/p>\n
