I think a similar expression to this "walking on clouds" is "I'm on cloud nine". What other expressions can you think of?

W : Lovely. Have you set a date for the wedding?
M : Yes, the wedding is next month!
W : She must be a very special person.
M : Yeah, Rachel is the best person who has ever come to me. I feel like I’m walking on clouds. Oh, I can’t wait for the wedding.

On cloud seven is also used, though much less frequently than on cloud nine.

I believe "walking on air" is more common in American English too.
