Fly On The Wings Of Love
Joining the mile high club has its variations these days, its not just a quicky in the toilet any more these days people can get married a mile high! Katie Hodgson and Darren McWalters proved that by getting married while strapped to the wings of separate bi-planes, with the vicar facing backwards on a third plane in front!
The couple were chosen to take part in this extraordinary wedding ceremony from thousands who entered a prize draw with this truly spectacular prize put up for grabs by the amazing wing walking ‘Team Guinot’.
By the time the couple had been given the opportunity all they were missing was a vicar. An appeal went out to find a dare-devil vicar to conduct the ceremony. That call was answered by none other than 67 year old George Bingham, who had attempted wing walking once before in the past so he knew what he was in for.
As the blessing took place 500ft in the air all three were linked together by a communication system with a mouthpiece and earpieces. This also meant that the service could be heard by friends and family below. The two love birds, who met in 2005, had to pay a visit to exchange their vows in a registry office prior to the airborne event due to the fact that getting married while being strapped to three bi-planes 500ft in the air is currently not legally recognised.
Now the newly weds are boarding another plane for their honeymoon to jet off for a safari in Tanzania. Lets just hope that this time they aren’t strapped to the wings!
