Megan S. and Andrew D. Brooklyn, United States

Proposal Type: Romantic

My fiancé, Andrew, first took me to Zagat's number one rated restaurant, Auriello, for dinner. After dinner, he secretly took me to a heliport on the West Side, were we boarded a helicopter.

As we took off into the night, I was amazed by all of the sights, not knowing that Andrew was taking a ring out of his pocket. We sat in front with the pilot so that he could direct my attention out the window. Exactly when we reached the Statue of Liberty, the pilot stopped and hovered above it. That was when Andrew took out the ring and proposed to me.

At that moment, the pilot handed me roses and another employee of the heliport who was seated behind us, gave us each a glass of champagne and took numerous pictures of us. When we left the helicopter, we were met by a standing ovation of the other employees and also guests waiting to board the helicopter. We were then allowed to re-board the plane to take many pictures both inside and out.

When we calmed down a bit, we drove to his parents house to share the news, not knowing that our entire families we already there waiting for us with champagne in hand.

It was the greatest day of my life.
