Richard Branson officiates wedding of two Virgin Atlantic employees

In 2012, Willie Walsh bet Richard Branson that Virgin Atlantic wouldn't exist in five years, a bet he lost as the airline celebrated its 40th birthday. Branson discussed the airline's 'secret sauce' and its impact, including launching the first airline appeal for change. Branson shared remarkable moments, such as helping secure the release of foreign hostages from Saddam Hussein. Virgin announced a new route to Toronto and discussed future plans. Branson officiated the wedding of two founding crew members, celebrating their love story that began on a Virgin Atlantic flight in 1984. The couple, Malcolm and Jacqui, met during the airline's inaugural year and have been together ever since. Virgin Atlantic arranged a surprise appearance by Branson to celebrate the couple's love story and the airline's Ruby Anniversary. Malcolm and Jacqui expressed gratitude for the special celebration.
