Pilot boyfriend fakes an engine failure in elaborate proposal to his girlfriend
A video showing a pilot boyfriend faking an engine failure as part of an elaborate proposal to his girlfriend has gone viral across social media.
Marriage proposals are often a complicated business. Do you pop the question during a nice meal at a fancy restaurant, in a natural beauty spot or at a gas station in the pouring rain like Jim and Pam from The Office?
Pilot boyfriends elaborate proposal to his girlfriend
One couple, Anthony and Katherine Bordignon, have shared their unique engagement video which took place 3,500ft in the air and left one of them screaming in a mixture of fear and excitement.
The viral video sees the Canadian couple taking to the skies in a small private plane and during the flight, Anthony says that there is an issue with the plane and that he might have to perform an emergency landing in a nearby field.
As a worried Katherine reads through the emergency checklist, which features a ring engagement process, she starts to realize that hes proposing to her.
The proposal proves to be emotional for Katherine as she starts to well up with tears before letting out a full-blooded scream.
Originally posted in 2017, the video has earned more than 20 million views on YouTube and is often recirculated across social media. Most recently, it was picked up by the Instagram account OneNiceQuote where it has earned more than 2.2 million likes.

Since then
Anthony and Katherines viral proposal video was first published in February 2017 and the couple officially tied the knot later that year in June.
In June 2024, the couple will celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary.
Since they got married, Anthony and Katherine have had two children together, a daughter and a son, who were born in 2018 and 2023 respectively, while they’ve also fostered a third, another daughter born in 2018.
Viewers react to proposal
Anthony and Katherines proposal has sparked countless comments since it was first posted seven years ago.
One viewer on YouTube said: Anyone who stays that calm in a life-threatening emergency is a keeper. I wish you both a long and happy life together.
While a second added: I appreciate the lengths he went to make this special, and at the same time, maybe making someone fear for their life in a space they cant escape isnt the best set up for a proposal. I wish them love nonetheless.
Over on Instagram, one commenter said: I felt that scream! Omg! Happiness, overwhelmed, relief& just everything all at once! So happy for your happiness and love and family!!
Another wrote: Ahhhh!! All the feels and happy tears! Love you so much! Congrats!
Stop setting the standards so high, joked this viewer. There are a lot of guys like me who travel in Uber.
And finally, this Instagram user commented: Her emotions went from Im going to die to Im getting married =)= .
