Pilot Proposes to girlfriend at 34,000 feet! March 18 could be the most unforgettable trip of a flight attendant of an Alaska Airlines from Seattle to Juneau. Amidst the busy work at the plane, her boyfriend, a pilot astonished her by a mid-flight proposal that took everyone by surprise.
Flight attendant Brandy Hollenbeck had the usual day on the plane, while serving coffee to passengers until a man grabbed the intercom and started telling his love story. The off-duty pilot proposes to girlfriend just before Hollenbeck knew that he was hiding in the flight deck jump seat, PEOPLE reports.
"I happened to meet this beautiful blond flight attendant, who was sitting there ... chowing down on a double cheeseburger," Greener recalled. "All I could think, folks, was, 'My gosh, a flight attendant who has the courage to eat a cheeseburger in the terminal is a woman to know.' "
"Brandy Hollenbeck, I've loved you since the moment I met you and I want to be the man for you for the rest of your life. Will you marry me?" asked Eric Greener.
Obviously, as busy as Hollenbeck was, she didn't realize that the love story being told by the man on the microphone was actually hers! After the pilot proposes to girlfriend, he came out from hiding and the two just can't contain their feelings and embraced down the aisle.
Every passenger was touched as the pilot proposes to girlfriend. He placed the engagement ring on her finger and all were just so happy and applauding with the romantic scene. Daily Mail cited that when Hollenbeck finally said yes, he waved his hand up in the air.
According to INQUISTR, before the pilot proposes to girlfriend, Greener coordinated with everyone including the co-pilots, fellow flight attendants, and even the gate keepers at the airport. He made sure that everyone was well informed of his intended proposal so that he could execute the plan successfully.
Ms Hollenbeck's close friend and fellow flight attendant RieAnn Fullwood stated to Jennifer Sovey of Alaska Airlines' official website that they tried to keep Hollenbeck busy in the back of the plane during boarding so she wouldn't see (her boyfriend) Eric board.
Eric Greener, the pilot proposes to girlfriend, is a Ravn Alaska pilot. According to Canada Journal, it was his mom who met her at the airport and told him how perfect she was for her son.
Hollenbeck just exclaimed that at one point "I thought someone up there is telling my love story! But I kept serving coffee."
After the pilot proposes to girlfriend, they concluded that they are still planning for their wedding date, but it will surely be a summer wedding. Congratulations!
