EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an ultra-modern wedding in the vibrant city of Detroit, United States. Taken by renowned artist Achille Beltrame, this colour lithograph showcases a truly unique ceremony that took place in 1925. In this extraordinary event, the bride and groom boldly chose to exchange their vows while seated in separate aircrafts. As they sat side by side in anticipation, the celebrant positioned himself in another plane nearby. Once the airplanes reached a distance of one thousand meters from the ground, their engines were turned off to create a serene atmosphere for the sacred union. The couple listened attentively through a loudspeaker as a shepherd performed the wedding rites high above the clouds. This unconventional approach to matrimony exemplifies both innovation and adventure during an era when aviation was still relatively new. Beltrame's illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on June 28th, 1925. It beautifully encapsulates not only the modernity of American society at that time but also highlights how love can transcend traditional boundaries. This remarkable image is now part of a private collection and serves as a testament to human imagination and our constant pursuit of pushing boundaries. The combination of technology, romance, and faith depicted here creates an unforgettable visual narrative that continues to captivate viewers today.
