Talk about combining business with fun.
A flight attendant couple exchanged vows in the middle of the flight – taking their love to new heights on Valentine’s Day.
Alexander Valur and his fiancee Kita both work for the Icelandic Airlines competition – which allows them to hold ceremonies at 30,000 feet from the Icelandic countryside of Valur to the northern France Motherland France.
“In the past two years, we have gone to France and other countries and within Iceland. We love traveling,” the groom said in a statement shared with the post.
“When we heard about the idea of possible marriage on this flight, we thought, why not? It’s perfect for all our adventures – getting married in the sky between Iceland and France.”
He added: “In addition, it’s a very crazy and unconventional idea and it’s perfect for us.”
The couple changed their work uniforms—he put on a velvet maroon jacket and black pants, then she put on a green silk vest and black casual pants—and boarded the plane for the last time this morning as a fiancée.
As the passenger in his 200s watched, Kita walked down the aisle and met Alexander and a pastor in front of the plane.
They tied knots and then celebrated with travelers, and as the champagne and flight attendants welcomed them, they turned to the Witnesses.
“The ceremony is very beautiful, very interesting, it’s amazing. Now, we’re going to enjoy ourselves in Paris,” the newlywed man shared.
The new wedding is planned to celebrate their day with Valentine’s Day and the next few days.

The couple’s journey begins with their shared passion for travel. Kita was fascinated by Iceland and Alexander for the first time, working trips in Iceland, the latter being a tour guide.
The two stayed in touch and when Kita returned later, Alexander asked her about her date excitedly.
“We clicked immediately and connected immediately,” Alexander recalled. “We’ve been together ever since.”
Earlier, when a pilot proposed to his girlfriend a few weeks ago, the plane was sailing in at 30,000 feet, a public display with its heart soaring.
A passenger recorded the sweet moments of Captain Aerome Xicoxo, who was not named, announced his love for the speaker’s girlfriend.
When the pilot finally faces his girlfriend, he falls down his knee and asks, “Will you marry me?”
Basu said “yes” excitedly, tears flowing down her face. The newly engaged couple hugged and kissed, and onlookers recorded emotional moments and cheered for both.
The pilot then returned to the plane, and Barto fixed the ring’s fingers to her seat.
