At the 71Above restaurant, located in downtown Los Angeles, a man staged a Hollywood-worthy marriage proposal when he decided to ask his girlfriend to marry him with a helicopter flying just outside the restaurant’s window.
The video, which quickly went viral, shows the woman visibly impressed and surprised, hugging her boyfriend after he got down on one knee in front of her while stunt pilot Robin Petgrave performed the aerial maneuver.
An overlaid text in the video confirms that the answer was positive, since “she said yes”, and the other diners present in the restaurant did not hesitate to applaud the spectacular scene that combined a privileged view of the city with a marriage proposal that few will forget, while the helicopter remained hovering outside the window as part of the surprise prepared by the boyfriend.
Internet users reacted immediately on social media, and while some users praised the creativity and spectacular nature of the gesture with comments like “How cool and unique!” and “What a proposal!”, others questioned the cost of the extravagance and wrote “Okay, how much does this nonsense cost?”.
