" But that's a very conversational way of saying it. " Did you perhaps mean "your wedding celebration is up in the air"? If that's what you meant, I can explain.

  • " But that's a very conversational way of saying it.
  • " Did you perhaps mean "your wedding celebration is up in the air"?
  • If that's what you meant, I can explain.
  • When something is "up in the air" it means you don't know what is going to happen to it.
  • For example, if the bride and the groom are having a HUGE fight before the wedding, and one of them runs out and disappears for a few hours, and the time for the ceremony is getting close, one could definitely say, "The wedding celebration is up in the air right now," because nobody knows if the person is coming back or what is going to happen.

Hmmm...it should be "How come it's possible?"

But that's a very conversational way of saying it. If you're going to be writing it, a more proper way to ask that question would be "Why is it possible?"

I've never heard the phrase "your wedding celebration is in air." Did you perhaps mean "your wedding celebration is up in the air"? If that's what you meant, I can explain.

"Why is it possible" is wrong. It should be "How is it possible".

There is nothing wrong with "Why is it possible?", and there may be many different contexts in which it makes perfect sense.

I'll back miriam on this one. Also, "How come is it possible?" Is all right but it's not particularly common.

The online Etymological dictionary says: "how come? for "why?" is recorded from 1848."
