Perfect In-Flight Proposal Gives Step-By-Step Guide

As the YouTube generation grows up, we can expect more and more life events of strangers recorded for our viewing pleasure. And when it comes to asking for someone's hand in marriage, arguably the scariest moment of the proposer's life, we can also expect the chance to watch some nerves of steel.

But for Scott Wetton, it seemed the nervousness could be dissipated through extremely careful planning. As he shows in the video above, asking girlfriend Jacqueline Poushay to marry him required two plane tickets, a storage locker at the airport and a fake itinerary. With the couple planning to go home to their families for the holidays from Calgary -- Wetton to Toronto, Poushay to Sydney, Nova Scotia -- this kicked off the season on a decidedly romantic note.

While we do wish we could see Poushay's face as Wetton gets on the mic, we love the payoff when the camera finally zooms in on her, and finds her sobbing happily. Best of all? That absolutely scored them free champagne for the rest of the flight from Calgary to Toronto.

Check out this gallery of the cutest in-flight proposals -- we're certain the one above will be added shortly.

Great, while the rest of the passengers and staff are a captive audience and forced to act all gushy and emotional about 2 people they don't care about for some union that has a 50% of chance of ending in a bitter divorce anyways. Thanks to terrorists the quality of air travel has deteriorated enough as it is, we don't need more help from these cheesy proposals.

I would not recommend this again and hope airlines cease this. I think this was cute and successful, however what if she would have said no and all hell would have broke out such as an arguement. He could have suffered greatly from humilitation and made the rest of the ride uncomfortable for all. So I do not recommend people using the safety and risking the lives of others to assist with their personal highs in life. Also, That woman could have been so surprised she could have had a heart attack on board. People need not assume things will go their way just because they want it to. Again, flights that have tooken off should not be used for stuff ike this. Thank God she said yes.
