A Match Made In Heaven: This Couple Got Married On Their Southwest Airlines Flight
Have you ever gotten the urge to marry your fiancé on the spot? Well, two lovebirds named Pam and Jeremy actually acted on the impulse and got married during a Southwest Airlines flight.
On Tuesday, April 19, the pair had joked about wanting to catch a flight to Vegas to get married. Soon after, both Pam and Jeremy realized that neither partner was really kidding.
They initially booked a Sunday flight to Vegas with another airline and planned to hit a wedding chapel Sunday evening.
But, after leaving Oklahoma City and arriving in Dallas Fort Worth for their connecting flight, the couple realized their connection had been canceled.
Luckily, another passenger named Chris, who was also traveling to Las Vegas, overheard Pam and Jeremy discussing their debacle. Chris explained that he is an ordained minister and offered to marry the fiancés himself.
Southwest Airlines recounted the spectacular wedding event that followed in a now-viral Facebook post.
“The three [Pam, Jeremy, and Chris] went online, snatched up the last three seats to Vegas on a Southwest flight, and hurried together across town to Dallas Love Field,” the post recalled.
While boarding their flight, all dressed up in wedding attire, the couple gained a lot of attention from crew members. The flight’s pilot, named Captain Gil, even asked Pam about her wedding dress.

“Pam explained their story and joked with Captain Gil that they should just get married on the flight. For the second time that week, Pam was surprised to hear the words, ‘Let’s do it!'” the post continued.
The Southwest flight crew reportedly “sprung into action” and used toilet paper streamers and snack mix sashes as decorations.
A fourth passenger on the flight even happened to be a professional photographer and captured beautiful shots for the newlyweds.
The whole plane also used an old notebook as a makeshift guestbook and filled it with congratulatory notes.
“Congrats to the newlyweds on a memorable inflight wedding neither our employees nor passengers are likely to forget! We can’t wait to welcome you back on board the love airline,” Southwest wrote.
The spontaneous and love-filled wedding has now gone viral on Facebook, garnering over three hundred and sixty thousand likes and nearly eighty-four thousand shares.
People around the world have continued congratulating and wishing the new couple well.
“She looks beautiful, and he has great hair. A love match made in the heavens…literally!” commented one Facebook user.
“This is what living life to the fullest is all about! Improvising and making the best out of situations that do not always go as planned! Congrats Pam and Jeremy!” added another user.
