A couple will tie the knot in style when they marry in an aeroplane 2,000 feet above Milton Keynes.

Kanti Majithia, 66, will marry Sarla Pabari, who lives in Bletchley, during a Hindu wedding ceremony as they fly over the city on Saturday, January 26.

Around 30 guests will board a Douglas Dakota DC-3 to witness the couple exchange their oaths mid-flight.

In the morning the bride and groom will arrive at Jaipur Indian restaurant in the city centre, where they will share a traditional Indian breakfast with guests, followed by a hot cup of cha.

After breakfast the congregation will travel in a fleet of white stretch limousines to the register office in Bletchley for the formal ceremony.

A Rolls Royce will then whisk the couple, with their entourage in tow, towards Cranfield Airport where the flight crew will be waiting.

A priest will bless the plane before it takes off, escorted by a World War Two Spitfire fighter.

The planes will fly over Milton Keynes before passing over the groom’s home in Leicester and returning within half-an-hour.

Organiser and master of ceremonies, Jay Pabari, said: "It’s totally remarkable because of their age but they’re both very young at heart.

"They’ve both lost partners over the last four or five years and their friendship has grown - everybody needs a partner.
