CIRENCESTER, England (UPI) -- A British couple said they exchanged their wedding vows 1,000 feet above ground while standing on the wings of biplanes.

Darren McWalters, 24, and Katie Hodgson, 23, stood on the wings of two identical planes flying side by side while Rev. George Bringham flew ahead of them on the wing of a third plane, The Times of London reported Wednesday.

Wedding guests listened to the exchange of vows via loudspeakers at Rendcomb Airfield, near Cirencester, England.

"We got engaged in the Brazilian rain forest and I wanted a wedding blessing that would top my proposal," McWalters told The Times. "It was unbelievable. Looking down and seeing my family and friends below was just incredible. I'm lost for words."
