Woman travels 4,000 miles to marry ‘childhood sweetheart’ – her cousin

Must read

Retro TV footage of a woman who travelled 4,000 miles to marry her ‘childhood sweetheart’ has left X (formerly Twitter) viewers in hysterics after the show nonchalantly revealed who she was to wed.

The clip, taken from the first ever instalment of ITV’s Airline – which aired in 1998 – sees a lady preparing for her daughter’s big day as their family get ready to fly out to the Dominican Republic. Nothing too out of the ordinary you might think – until the show’s narrator reveals the bride-to-be is to marry her cousin.




“Sorry, what?” the X user who posted the video can be heard exclaiming after hearing the shock revelation. She added in a caption: “Watched the very first episode of Airline earlier and couldn’t quite believe my ears.”

Scores more X users appeared to be bewildered by the forthcoming nuptials too, and they didn’t hold back in the comments section below the post. “Watched exactly the same thing a couple of weeks ago,” one person said. “Absolutely stunning and it only gets better as it goes on.”

A second wrote in shock: “I thought I heard something completely different at the beginning there…..and then it hit at the end.” A third added: “We need a life update immediately, what do the kids look like.” And a fourth joked: “Even though Charlie Higson is narrating this… it genuinely feels like a Fast Show [90s BBC sketch show] episode.”

In a bid to shed some normality on the situation, meanwhile, another person explained: “Cousin marriage is close to 50% in some communities.” While a second confessed: “My mum’s auntie is married to her first cousin and they have a daughter.”
