Gays and lesbians wed on SAS flight
Scandinavian Airlines has become the first airline in the world to carry out both a gay and lesbian wedding in the air.
The ceremonies took place on flight SK903 from Stockholm to New York following the airline’s successful social media campaign ‘Love is in the Air’, in which more than 300 couples competed to be the first same-sex couple to get hitched onboard.
The airline’s PR director Anders Lindstrom said: "We are extremely proud to be the first airline to host not only the world’s first mid-air same-sex wedding, but both the first gay and first lesbian wedding.
"As the national airline of the world’s three most progressive countries, which were also the first to legalize same-sex marriages, we felt it was completely natural to also be the first with this."
