Airline helped man propose, recreates day for 25th anniversary

Grab the tissues for this one, you’re gonna need it. In a romantic grand gesture, Kyle enlisted the help of his fellow passengers on a flight to propose to then-girlfriend Staci 25 years ago. She was waiting for him at the airport, blissfully unaware of Kyle’s plans. He sneakily gave each person on the flight a red rose, and asked them to give it to Staci when they got off the plane. Southwest Airlines, the US airline that was in cahoots with the young man, shared the whole story on Twitter:

Twenty five years ago, Kyle gave a rose to everyone on his Southwest flight. They were instructed to hand their roses to a woman waiting for him in the gate area. pic.twitter.com/zfCpQcBBmJ

So, with Staci confused and an arm full of roses, Kyle was the last to give her a rose, then got on his knee and asked her to marry him. Naturally, she said yes!

Now, after 25 years of being happily married, Kyle decided it was high time he did something special to celebrate their anniversary. Again, he approached his trusted airline, and they happily obliged. This time, as they were about to leave for a flight together, Kyle told Staci he would meet her at the airport. When she got to the gate, though, Kyle was already there and had been handing disembarking passengers red roses again, which they delivered to Staci.

As the last rose was delivered, Kyle appeared, going down on his knees exactly like all those years ago and “proposed” all over again. She said yes, she still does! Watch how all the passengers played along:
