The airplane hangar was a nod to John-David’s passion for flying: He’s a certified pilot.
Even though an airplane hangar would have been different enough, John-David and Abbie fully committed to the flying theme by leaving their reception in an airplane, which John-David piloted!
Several wedding guests posted video footage of the flight, which was the most memorable moment of the day — aside, of course, from the couple sharing a forbidden dance at the altar.
