We did a lovely dawn balloon flight on Wednesday in our VIP balloon (a flight just for 2) and it wasn't just a balloon flight, but a wedding proposal!
I had to drive ahead of the balloon and lay out a massive banner reading “will you marry me?” in a field, where the passengers were guaranteed to see it – with some amazing balloon control from the pilot they drifted over the banner, I was waiting poised in the field wondering…….when over the radio came cheers of excitement!! “She said yes!!” PHEW.
The chap brought along a ring and even got down on one knee – clasping tightly onto the ring making sure he didn't flick it over the side into the abyss of cut stubble ;0)
When they landed, the happy couple couldn't have looked more pleased. It was lovely. Massive congratulations to them both – it was a pleasure to help make it very special and such a big suprise for the bride-to-be.
If you would like to make a special announcement or buy a great gift for someone, or even treat yourself, why not come ballooning: purchases can be made online: buy a balloon flight
