Emma Degerstedt and Shane Molidor are tying the knot this weekend in FloridaBut the New York-based couple almost didn't make it due to aircraft problemsThey were notified hours before takeoff that the flight had been canceled

A bride-to-be has revealed that she and her fiancé almost missed their big day after the flight they were set to get on to fly to their wedding got canceled the night before due to the recent Boeing 737 Max 9 groundings.

Emma Degerstedt and Shane Molidor, from New York, were left scrambling after they were notified hours prior to takeoff that the plane they were supposed to take to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for their nuptials this weekend was no longer in service.

United Airlines told the couple that there were a few other options they could take – but when they went to rebook their reservation, they discovered that all of the new flights were full, which meant they’d be put on the standby list.

Terrified that she may not make it in time to walk down the aisle, Emma took to TikTok to share her horror over the situation.

In the video, posted on Tuesday, the panicked bride-to-be explained that she had just found out that their flight for the next morning had been canceled.

‘We are flying to our wedding tomorrow morning and United just told us that our flight is canceled,’ she said frantically.

‘They were like, “Here’s three flights you can take instead.” Great but not ideal. But we’re like, “You know what, we gotta get there,” so we click on it and find out it’s standby, no guarantee.’

Emma added that while she knew there would be mishaps ahead of her big day, she never expected something like this would occur.

‘When people told me that things might wrong before your wedding, this was not… I thought the florist would [mess up] the flowers at our wedding, something I can manage, not that we wouldn’t get there for our wedding,’ she joked. ‘United, help.’

In a follow-up video, Emma explained that the flight they were originally supposed to take was scheduled for Wednesday at 9am, and thankfully, the wedding festivities weren’t supposed to kick off until Friday afternoon – so they still had some time to get there.

She added that she ‘found out why the flight had been canceled’ – and it was because the aircraft they were supposed to take was a Boeing 737 Max 9.

On January 5, an Alaskan Airlines flight suffered a terrifying door blowout mid-flight, leading to an emergency landing.

‘Remember that Alaskan Airlines flight where the door flew off? That was our plane. A Boeing Max 9. It was recalled because doors are flying off,’ Emma told her followers.

‘There’s only 80 [of those planes] in the entire United States, and we happened to be on one of them. Is this an omen?’ she wondered.

Thankfully, Emma revealed on Wednesday that they were able to get to Florida, but they had to book a new flight with American Airlines, which left at 6.30am and had a layover in Miami.

‘Two expensive flights and Ubers later, we made it,’ she captioned a video that showed her and her fiancé Shane kissing on the beach.

While discussing the travel disaster with Insider, Emma explained that they were ’emotionally prepared’ for flight delays due to weather – since they were traveling in the wintertime – but that they never expected a problem like this to arise.

‘We didn’t think that doors, windows, and door plugs flying off of planes and loose bolts was going to be the reason our flight was completely canceled,’ she said.

Despite the initial panic, Emma told the publication that she knew they would find a way to get to the wedding.

‘We’ll fly out of a different airport. We’ll fly into a different airport. We’ll take a train. We’ll do whatever we need to do,’ she recalled thinking.

Unfortunately, she revealed that 10 of their guests were supposed to fly on Boeing 737 Max 9s and were now dealing with similar problems.

Five have been able to get new flights, but she’s unsure if the other five will make it.

Even so, she is looking at the situation in a positive light, concluding, ‘Maybe this is a good omen, like rain on your wedding day.’
