There was a designated area for ceremonies as well. A small projector was installed all over the plane so that everyone could watch the wedding festivities.

Vidhi and Hridesh married on November 24. The bride wore a red bridal lehenga and an embroidered dupatta along with a diamond and pearl necklace.

“I am very, very happy to marry my high-school sweetheart, up in the flight. Thanks to Jetex, thanks to everybody. Thanks to both our parents, both our father. We love you,” Hridesh said.

"Dubai is my home and this is the sequel to the wedding in the sky," Popley said. "I've always dreamt of doing this for my daughter and there's no place better than Dubai as it fulfills all the dreams,” he added.
