A HILARIOUS video shows the moment a bride-to-be gets the whole plane involved in her celebrations – by launching into a Mexican wave.
Jessica Calam had been ready for a special weekend with her hen party last week and took to the sky to head to Barcelona for her hen do.
The 27-year-old from Farnborough, Hampshire was alerted by her hens that she had a serious of tasks to complete whilst they were on holiday.
The first task was to engage the entire plane in a Mexican wave whilst cruising at 30,000 feet which she managed without breaking a sweat.
A hilarious clip begins with Jessica stood at the front of the plane with a flight attendant named Shelley who begins addressing the passengers through the in-flight communication system.
The plane falls silent as Shelley begins speaking as Jessica stands alongside her, she says: “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ll soon be shortly landing.
“We do have a lovely lady here who is onboard, she’s about to get married.”
A gentleman then squirms out of the way of the video to return to his seat as Shelley confirms that the wedding will not take place in the air.
The EasyJet worker states: “She has an exciting bingo card that she’s got to get ticked off on this trip.
Bride-to-be Jessica then shakes her bingo card as passengers look on with amusement wondering what is coming next.
Shelley announces that the entire plane will need to participate in one of the world’s most famous dance moves, stating: “One of them [bingo card places] is she would like to do a Mexican wave.”
The hospitality worker then whoops in delight, dressed in white cargo trousers, a white t-shirt and love heart glasses.
Flight attendant Shelley confides in the passengers that in her 15 year career she has never been part of an onboard task such as this.
She says: “We can only do that with your help. I know it’s a bit bizarre. I’ve been here nearly 15 years and I’ve never seen a Mexican wave.”
“I’m actually quite excited. So, I’m gonna start it and anyone else – if you can all just – you know how a Mexican Wave works.”
Jessica and Shelley ready themselves to begin the wave with final instructions dished out by the experienced flyer.
She looks at the front row and addresses the passengers, saying: “You guys are gonna have to be first. It’s gonna go all the way down the back, where [Jessica’s] lovely friends are sitting at the back.”
Jessica whoops and chuckles as Shelley says: “So, we’ve got no music but we don’t need that.
“So, if she can get the first [Bingo item] ticked off, I’d be really appreciative if you can join me on our Mexican wave.”
The speakerphone is placed back on its handle and the pair get prepped for unleashing one of the highest Mexican waves in history.
The camera then captures the wave as it spreads down the plane with a majority of the passengers taking part in the task and some opting to shout as they throw their arms up with glee.
Jessica took to social media earlier this week to share the fun video, writing: “Can we get an EasyJet flight to Barcelona to complete a plane wave on a hen do?
“Shelley, the flight attendant, was a legend.”
The post received over 6,000 likes and dozens of comments as many shared their amusement at the post.
One wrote: “This is my mum. Came up on my FYP. Hope you had a lush hen do.”
Another said: “This is class.”
A third commented: “It would have funny if a whole plane full of people went, ‘Nope. Not doing that.’”
Another added: “Queen Shelley.”
Speaking to Jessica today, she said: “My fiancé proposed to me at a familiar place, we had been twice before and then the third time round he popped the question.
“He had lied and used my best friend to invite me to stay at her’s for the weekend. He then surprised me with a weekend away in Midhurst. My future husband is one of a kind – so caring and loving.
“We have been together since we were 16 and now 11 years on, we are so excited to tie the knot.
“The Mexican wave or plane wave I should say was an idea of my two best friends Remco Smit and Ryan Jones, they were invited on the hen do and the game hosts for the four days.
“They had created their own bingo cards and we had to mark off throughout the duration.
“The winner of a line and a full house would win prizes.
“Some of the other bingos included three shots back-to-back, a dance off and even a cannon ball in the pool.
“We went a week ago to Barcelona and were there from Wednesday to Saturday.
“All of us had the best time. including me there were nine in total and couldn’t have asked for a better crowd.”
Jessica and James plan to tie the knot in April 2024.
EasyJet have been approached for comment.
