Tying the knot on cloud nine - too tacky?

After hearing news that easyJet is campaigning for a wedding licence so that its pilots can take loved-up couples to cloud nine as they tie the knot, I got to thinking - since when did the sacred union of husband and wife get so tacky?

I personally have no qualms with flying. I do not suffer airsickness, nor do I get jittery zooming through a patch of turbulence at 500 mph. However, when I think about my fantasy wedding, I do not envisage a narrow traffic jam of an aisle blocked with food and drink trolleys, and air stewards clad in bright orange.

Nor do I fancy having to repeat my wedding vows after a pilot who is located yards down the plane in a cockpit and officiating the ceremony through a muffled speaker. Call me old fashioned, but I want to have eye contact with the person responsible for joining me in holy matrimony.

Yes, getting married in the air is novel - or at least it would have been back in the 1960s when flying was something new and exciting - but now it is just up there with other gimmick weddings, like getting married under water in scuba gear and agreeing to the solemn vows via hand gestures.        

Give me a fabulous wedding dress, traditional wedding cake and a honeymoon to die for and I will be happy - but I will not resort to tastelessness.

What are the tackiest things you have been privy to when attending a wedding?
