Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to witness the inflight marriage of two customers. For Southwest Airlines, being “The Love Airline” is more than a nickname, as customers from coast to coast have met, fallen in love, and even gotten married on Southwest flights. In this episode, Derek K. Hubbard, a Manager for the airline’s Public Relations Team who has played cupid for more than a few love-struck couples, shares his advice for romantic gestures at 35,000 feet. Congratulations!
