NEW YORK, NY – According to On Top magazine, Scandinavian Airlines is allowing two gay and lesbian couples to say their “I do’s” while in flight. It seems that being a member of the “mile-high club” is no longer as prestigious as it used to be. The marriage ceremonies are part of the airline’s “Love is in the Air” campaign, which was sponsored by the International Gay Lesbian Travel Association. More than 300 submissions were received during the campaign, and the lucky two couples will tie the knot, first-class style, Dec 6 during a flight from Stockholm to New York.
The winners are gay couple Aleksandar Mijatovic and Shantu Bhattacherjee, who are from Germany and have been together for seven years. Lesbians Ewa Tomaszewicz and Gosia Rowinska, who are from Poland, will join the other two. As part of the contest, the two couples will also receive free honeymoons in NYC and West Hollywood. On what he loves most about his partner and soon-to-be husband, Mijatovic says,“That now after seven years I still have butterflies in my stomach when I look at him. And I love the fact that I always feel that I am in a team and that I can rely on him and trust him unconditionally.”
