24-year old, Alexander Serruys entered a competition held by Thomas Cook Travel Company on Valentine’s Day to propose and get married all in the same day on a board flight.
Alexander, the winner of the competition “If you could marry your girlfriend in the air, would you do it?” started planning the big surprise wedding trying not to raise suspicion. His 20-year old fiancée, Marieke, was told that she had won a trip with her sister to the Greek island and that it was being filmed for Thomas Cook.
