My fiance and I met in Candlewood Lake in Connecticut. So last year he came inside the house had a dress and shoes picked out for me told me not to ask any questions and put them on. I did as I was told and we got in the car. He said that he wanted to go out to dinner, we couldn’t find anyplace to go and I was being sort of a pain I said “You know, I thought you were going to give me a ring today” etc. Then he asks me how to get to a restaurant that we like so I tell him to take a right and he keeps going in the same direction sees an airport for small planes and says this will take a minute I want to see if I can get my pilot’s license. Here I am getting a little upset because in my opinion he had me dress up for nothing. I tell him that I will wait in the car and he says no you have to come. When we go in they say “appt. for Rich” and he says “yes”. So now we head out to the small planes and had to put the ear pieces on. So the pilot takes off and Rich is happy as can be taking pictures and everything meanwhile I am green from getting sick. So he has the pilot go over Candlewood Lake to right where he met and gives me a ring and asks me to marry him. I start crying and forget about my sickness. The pilot says “is that a yes” and the control towers also said “is that a go” and we said yes and they all said congratulations. When we leave the airport he says he wants to get a bite to eat a restaurant on the lake when we get there all of our friends and family were waiting for us. It turns out that they knew that WHOLE time! It’s great that he took so many pictures, so we were about to show everyone waiting for us the plane ride.
