Couple says 'I do' in air (VIDEO)

A daring couple had their head in the clouds as they married on top of the wings of three planes today - 1,000 feet above the ground.

Groom Darren McWalters, 24, stood on the top wing of a biplane while his bride Katie Hodgson, 23, flew along side on the wing of an identical aircraft - dressed in full bridal gown.

Rev George Bringham flew ahead of the couple on the wings of a third aircraft and brought the Lancashire couple together in holy matrimony over an airborne communications system.

The ceremony was played through loud speakers throughout RFC Rendcomb Airfield, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, to the congregation waiting on the ground below.

Jets of white smoke fired from the back of the aeroplane as the couple exchanged their vows in mid-air.

Heavy winds and rain cut the flight short and the couple, from Leyland, were rushed inside.

Fitness Instructor Mr McWalters said: 'We got engaged in the Brazilian rain forest and I wanted a wedding blessing that would top my proposal.

'It was unbelievable. Looking down and seeing my family and friends below was just incredible.I'm lost for words.'

Postwoman Ms Hodgson said when she was a young girl she never imagined she would wed on the wings of a plane.
