In 2010, flight attendants Paula Podest and Carlos Ciuffardi were all set to get married at a church in Chile. However, when the church was destroyed in an earthquake just before their wedding, they never got the chance to say their vows—until now.

As luck would have it, both Paula and Carlos were working when none other than Pope Francis boarded the plane en route to Iquique from Santiago. When the couple approached him for a picture, he asked if they were married, and they told him their devastating story.

When he learned of what they had gone through, the Pope asked the two flight attendants if they wanted to be married right then and there, and the couple happily agreed.


“[The Pope] told me it’s historic, that there has never before been a pope who married someone aboard a plane,” Carlos said.

“This is the sacrament that is missing in the world, the sacrament of marriage,” Pope Francis told the couple. “May this motivate others to get the sacrament of marriage. I’ll do it for this reason.”
