Pontiff marries couple onboard Latam

Pope Francis has made history by performing a wedding ceremony for two flight attendants on board a plane between Cities in Chile.

Paula Podest Ruiz 39 and Carlos Ciuffardi Elorriga, (41) had been married before a civil service but asked Pope to bless their marriage.

The Pontiff asked the couple “Do you want me to marry you?

The couple said they were unable to conduct a ceremony at their church in the Chilean capital, Santiago after it was damaged in an earthquake in 2010. Pope Francis  suggested performing the ceremony on his short flight onboard Latam from Santiago to the city of Iquique in northern Chile
