VIDEO: In-Flight Proposal 

Flight Proposal
Flight Proposal

Alexandra Williams and Arvin Shandiz met on a Delta Air Lines shuttle from New York to Chicago in 2010.

"I was enamored with her from day one and I was like, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with her," Shandiz said.

"I would joke with her and tell her that when we get engaged, it'll happen on a Delta flight."

And that's exactly what happened.

On Friday, in the middle of a flight from Chicago's O'Hare International to New York's LaGuardia Airport, Shandiz suddenly addressed a visibly shocked Williams over the plane's intercom (with the airline's permission) as other passengers looked on.

"From the moment I met her that night, I knew that I never wanted to spend a second without her," Shandiz announced as Williams rocked in her seat with emotion. "Would you marry me?"

The cabin erupted in applause as Williams said yes. Shandiz then presented her with the ring and the couple kissed awkwardly in the cramped cabin.

Delta treated all passengers on the flight with champagne to celebrate the engagement. It also surprised the couple with a free trip for their honeymoon, WGN reported.

"It was magical to say the least and it's been a fairy tale from the moment we met. I can't say how elated and lucky I feel," Williams said. (Source: CNN/WGN)
