Gay and want to be married in the sky?
Nothing for me, but if I was gay this would be a cool thing:

Marketing? Absolutely, but still very Scandinavian and a good initiative imo.
In December, SAS hopes to host the world's first same-sex wedding in the air! On a flight from Stockholm to New York, we will let love take over and wed one loving couple, hopefully making it one of the world's first gay-themed flights.
The lucky couple who will spread their love worldwide will win an exclusive wedding and honeymoon package that includes Business class flights with SAS to New York, three nights at one of New York's most luxurious hotels, the W Hotel, and then flights to Los Angeles to enjoy another three nights at the fabulous Andaz West Hollywood, as well as some of the best dining, nightlife and pampering West Hollywood has to offer, resulting in a glamorous West Hollywood honeymoon experience.

But same sex marriage is not legal in New York state.
How is this going to help SK? I guess they better be doing this over Canadian airspace !

According to this thread, an international flight is under the jurisdiction of the country where the plane is registered... there you have it

Would they announce exact date/flight in advance? Just want to make sure I'm not happen to be on the same flight...

I believe it is a great idea. From a marketing perspective this piece of news has the potential to spread wide and fast, both in the comming weeks and around the actual ceremony, which I by the way believe is taking place mid-air (as stated on their campaign site - and otherwise it would not make sense.
Would SK only have had their long wanted and planned CPH-SFO flight - it would have been perfect.

It reminds me a little of EasyJet's Miss wet T-shirt competitions we saw back 10 years ago and just think of a (or any for that sake) wedding party in C flying to NYC... Maybe this is just a way for SAS to show the rest of us that they are turning into an overpriced LCC

Is it really a legal wedding?
It's up to you to find out if your marriage will be recognized in your country or not. If for example a same-sex marriage is not legal in your country, Swedish law will not overtake your country's law

I don't think they care too much if it is legal or not in their own country

Already legally married in Sweden. I'm a American and Mr. Flyiboy is Swedish . I don't like when companies exploit for their gain.

Now I have one more reason to prefer other airlines over SAS.
