Dilip Popley, a prominent Indian businessman based in the UAE, hosted the wedding of his daughter, Vidhi Popley, and Hridesh Sainani in the expansive skies of Dubai aboard a private Jetex Boeing 747 aircraft on November 24, taking luxury to new heights. The couple exchanged vows at an altitude of 30,000 feet above ground level, marking a truly unique airborne celebration.
The Dubai-based Indian couple was accompanied by approximately 350 wedding attendees, including close friends, immediate family, and media representatives, at a Jetex private terminal located in Dubai South.
The Popley family, renowned for their jewellery and diamond businesses in the UAE and India, arranged an exceptional 'sky-high wedding' during a three-hour flight from Dubai to Oman.
The Popley family previously gained attention for their sky-high romantic gesture when Vidhi's parents made headlines 28 years ago by getting married during a "wedding in the sky," turning an Air India flight into a wedding venue.
