And for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2020\/04\/22\/pentagon-plans-dispatch-blue-angels-thunderbirds-coronavirus-response\/\" target=\"_blank\">bargain of just $60,000<\/a> per hour, you can hire these majestic jets to create brilliant contrails for everything from birthdays to bar mitzvahs. Or, if you\u2019re a particularly lucky Navy couple, they\u2019ll help out with your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just kidding, they don\u2019t take requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But on May 12, TikTok user Katie Wilkins (@<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@katiewilkins__?lang=en&#038;is_copy_url=1&#038;is_from_webapp=v1\">katiewilkins__<\/a>) shared a video in which, at the exact moment she was filming her Navy brother\u2019s newly wedded bliss on the beach in Pensacola, Florida, a squadron of Blue Angels flew through the background, creating a dazzling effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@katiewilkins__\/video\/6961251920254176518\" data-video-id=\"6961251920254176518\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" > <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@katiewilkins__\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@katiewilkins__\">@katiewilkins__<\/a> <p>That time the blue angels flew over my brother\u2019s wedding <a title=\"sipintosummer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/sipintosummer\">##SipIntoSummer<\/a> <a title=\"fypp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fypp\">##fypp<\/a> <a title=\"foryou\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/foryou\">##foryou<\/a> <a title=\"weddingtiktok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/weddingtiktok\">##weddingtiktok<\/a> <a title=\"navy\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/navy\">##navy<\/a> <a title=\"blueangels\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/blueangels\">##blueangels<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Katie\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-6961251643291634438\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Katie<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo this wasn\u2019t planned,\u201d wrote Katie Wilkins. \u201cThey just happened to be coming home from an air show that weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while the video itself is worth more than its weight in gold, the comments are priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImagine having to tell them sorry I didn\u2019t get the picture can we do it again,\u201d wrote user VB.Maison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the commenters also remarked about the cost of the wedding, considering Blue Angels are such expensive entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNice to know this is where my tax dollars are going,\u201d joked user Boxerthehamster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lifetime of bliss to the happy couple.
