WHEN a flight attendant came across a couple on the way to their wedding, she decided the whole flight should help them celebrate.
And rather than the typical trinkets, this thoughtful crew member decided fellow passengers should give the gift of their best advice.

The unnamed air-hostess asked all the fellow travellers to scribble down their most valuable tip for a successful marriage - and delivered the results to the betrothed pair.
Kirsten and Sam, the happy recipients, shared the heart-warming experience - and the lessons they learned - on TikTok, to the delight of hundreds of thousands.
Kirsten, a pediatric oncologist nurse, said: 'The sweet flight attendant helped us ask people for marriage advice.
The pearls of wisdom arrived scrawled on airline napkins, note pads and small scraps of paper - anything passengers could find.
Here are some of the best among them.
A pair of high school sweethearts married 40 years wrote: 'Our advice is: Never give up [because] nothing is perfect, don't sweat the small stuff, never stop communicating, and never go to bed mad."
Another couple advised: 'Keep God at the center of your marriage and have fun together.
"Don't forget to be best friends [and] laugh at the little things.
'Stick together through the hard times [and] good times will eventually come again.'
Offering a philosophical note, someone wrote: 'Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments.

'Be nice, communicate wants and needs.'
Lovers of 43 years suggested: "'Be quick to forgive and say, 'I'm sorry,'' which was a remarkably similar sentiment to the decades-together couple.
A long and thoughtful message said: 'Always respond to your partner's bids for attention.
'If they say the sunset is pretty, drop everything and enjoy it together.
"If they ask if they look nice, truly take a moment to take them all in and give them a compliment.
"If they give you a quick hug, hold them longer. These small moments matter for intimacy.'
Kirsten and Sam tied the knot on May 22 in Phoenix, Arizona.
She said the wholesome life advice would serve as a foundation for their relationship, and they were "cherish these forever".
