First “Air Wedding” In Vermont – 1927
What was reported to be the “first marriage in an airplane on record in the State of Vermont” occurred on August 25, 1927. On that day, Miss Violet Sadie Branch of South Royalton, and Mr. Kenneth Dickerman of Randolph took off in an airplane piloted by Paul Schill from the Milton Airdrome. Also aboard was the Rev. S. Rowe from the Congregational Church in Milton, who began the ceremony once the plane had reached 2,800 feet. At that time the motor was shut off and the plane allowed to glide as the happy couple exchanged their vows. The entire event took just eight minutes.
