The couple, who both work for the Icelandic airline PLAY, came up with the idea after learning that they could have a wedding ceremony in the air.
They felt it was the perfect way to celebrate their love, especially since they have traveled extensively together.
Their journey together began when Kita visited Iceland for work. During her trip, she fell in love with both the country and Alexander, who was a tour guide at the time.
They kept in touch and soon began dating. Their mutual love for travel brought them closer, making the idea of a mid-flight wedding even more fitting.

“When we heard about the idea that it was possible to get married on board … we thought, why not?
It just fit perfectly with all of our adventures—to get married in the skies between Iceland and France.”
