What better place than Vegas for a wedding? It is the nuptials capital of America after all! From Nicky Hilton, Britney Spears, and most recently Pam Anderson and Rick Solomon, couples continue to flock to sin city to say I Do.

This past week, Sir Richard Branson took the Vegas wedding one step further. A wedding ABOVE Las Vegas! On his Virgin America madden voyage flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas, one happy couple were wed (by Branson himself who had previously been officially ordained). The couple said their I Do’s at 35,000 feet among friends, family, and the invited paparazzi of course. While the bride walked down the aisle of the plane, Branson conducted the ceremony on the flight attendant intercom. Other than some tight spaces, it appeared to be a fairly tame fete. That is until wedding cake was severed in the arrival terminal. With hundreds watching, show girls in toe, the cake landed on the face of the groom (curtsey of Branson). Talk about a Vegas wedding! And you thought there were no more original venues around.
