A bride-to-be and her fiancé held a mock ceremony in mid-air Sunday – donning a dress of toilet rolls for the occasion aboard a particularly boisterous Southwest Airlines flight.
Flying from their native Austin to a wedding venue in Oakland, the unnamed Texas couple conducted the impromptu ceremony right in the plane’s aisle – all to the delight of fellow passengers.
Those travelers, expecting an uneventful, three-hour flight, found themselves with a front row seat to the festivities, reportedly made possible by the plane’s crew.
Tamara Bogetti was one of those passengers, and once the matrimony was underway, immediately whipped out her phone to record the ensuing revelry.
Footage currently making its rounds on social media shows the unidentified bride walking down the plane aisle to her waiting fiancé, with a veil of snow white-toilet tissue streaming behind her.

In Bogetti’s clip, members of the crew are seen ushering the bride-to-be down the aisle, with their liveness seemingly contagious amongst others present in the plane’s cabin.
Shortly after disembarking, Bogetti recalled: ‘They did a brief faux ceremony. It was so fun, and creative. It uplifted everyone on the plane.’
