The Pope married two flight attendants in a mid-air wedding on a plane during his trip to Chile on Thursday. Bride Paula Podest and groom Carlos Ciuffardi said "I do" after Francis agreed to conduct the ceremony on the flight from Santiago to Iquique. They had been married in a civil service in 2010 but had been unable to follow up with a church ceremony because of the Feb. 27, 2010, earthquake that rocked Chile. The wedding certificate was drafted and signed on an airline sheet of paper. Vatican officials stated the episode marked the first time a pontiff ever married a couple on a papal plane.
