After all the ho0-hah about the supposed (later shown to be fake) wedding on a Virgin America flight over Canadian airspace, it is nice to get word of the first real same sex wedding in the air.
Sponsored by our lovely Scandanavian friends at SAS airlines, two couples – a gay German couple (Aleksandar Mijatovic and Shantu Bhattacherjee) and a Polish lesbian couple (Ewa Tomaszewicz and Gosia Rawińska) were married by a member of the European Parliament (Christofer Fjellner) between Stockholm and New York.
As Tomaszewicz told MSNBC, “this ceremony is not only for us, it’s also a small victory for all those who believe that one day in Poland we’ll have a normal country where everyone who loves each other can just get married.”
