Overview
- A viral TikTok shows a flight attendant asking passengers to remain seated and use the rear lavatory as a couple wed in the aisle of a Southwest flight.
- The couple, identified as Tina and Roger, exchanged vows at the front of the cabin as an officiant told passengers they had become “136 newfound friends.”
- The ceremony featured a bouquet toss and a guest book passed through rows, which many viewers and travelers criticized as intrusive.
- Critics said the event obstructed access to the front restrooms and forced a captive audience to sit through a private celebration.
- Legal commentary notes pilots are not automatically authorized to officiate and that validity depends on jurisdiction, so experts recommend handling official documents on land.
