Taichung air wedding flew to Okinawa for honeymoon, 58 couples escaped the typhoon and returned to Taichung tonight

Taichung City held its first joint air wedding this year, sending 66 couples to Okinawa for their honeymoon. Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan accompanied them and performed the wedding ceremony in the air on the 20th. The newlyweds were originally scheduled to fly back to Taichung at noon today, but due to the impact of Typhoon Qianbi, the flight back to Taichung was delayed. It was canceled at the time. Wu Shiwei, director of the Taichung Civil Affairs Bureau, pointed out that emergency coordination was arranged for the newlyweds to take a flight to Taoyuan International Airport, and a special car was arranged to return to Taichung. The 58 newlyweds completed their sweet trip and returned home as scheduled in the evening, making the happy journey a successful conclusion.

Wu Shiwei pointed out that this year's citizen joint wedding was held in the air for the first time. The city government donated round-trip air tickets from Taichung to Okinawa to 66 couples. Among them, 58 couples were originally scheduled to take a direct flight back to Taichung International Airport today. However, due to the impact of the typhoon, the flight was temporarily canceled because there are limited flight seats during the consecutive holidays. If the normal waiting system is followed, the couples may have to arrive in Okinawa. We stayed for an extra 2 to 3 days. Considering that most couples were under pressure to return to work after a consecutive vacation, we urgently coordinated with airlines and travel agencies, and finally successfully arranged for 58 couples to fly from Okinawa to Taoyuan International Airport on China Airlines today. Although the return destination was adjusted from Taichung to Taoyuan, the city government simultaneously planned connection services to allow the couples to return to Taichung smoothly.

The newlyweds, Ms. He and Mr. Lin, shared that being married by the mayor on the plane was a very special and unforgettable experience. Although there was a typhoon in Okinawa, the trip left many good memories. Another couple, Ms. Huang and Mr. Li, also said that they were very happy to be lucky enough to win this joint wedding, and even spent their honeymoon in Okinawa, leaving beautiful memories. Some of the other couples returned to their country early, and some of them had to stay a few more days before returning to Taichung.
