The New Zealand bride and groom are married in the presence of passengers when the plane arrives at the location between the two countries.

David Valliant and Cathy Valliant met each other online in 2011 while playing an aviation-related game. Two years later, they first met at Sydney Airport when Cathy arrived from Australia from New Zealand. "It was really love at first sight. Love in aviation brought us together," Cathy said.

In 2016, David planned to propose to Cathy on a flight from Brisbane to Melbourne, Australia, but he was so stressed out that he eventually proposed to her that evening, when only the two of them were together.

Cathy said she wanted to do "something really memorable" for their wedding and posted on the Melbourne-based airline Jetstar Facebook account of the idea of an aerial wedding.

"We wanted the wedding to symbolize our love for aviation, our love for Australia, New Zealand and each other so I ventured to ask Jetstar," Cathy said. Her proposal was approved by the company and they planned a wedding for two.
