Talk about an out-of-this-world proposal! This couple got engaged while on a ZERO-G space simulation flight.
Xavier Andrews popped the question to his girlfriend Shanté Cosme aboard the ZERO-G in a modified Boeing 727-200, a commercial way to experience what it’s like to be in space without actually going there.
Speaking to Brides, Andres explained that he wanted to do something special for the proposal.
“We’re an adventurous couple,” he said. “We’ve been to 12 countries together and have done everything from exploring the caves of Railay Beach, Thailand to snowmobiling the Vatnajökull glaciers of Iceland—so it felt right.”
The incredible images, captured by photographer Steve Boxall, shows the couple floating as if on Cloud 9 as the proposal takes place.
Cosme was suspicious of her partner and had already sussed out that a proposal was near.
“When we got to the Blade lounge in NYC and I realized we’d be taking a helicopter to the airport, I thought, ‘This would be a really cool way to propose,’” she told Brides. “People kept pulling him aside and he assured me he was just handling the bill, but I knew something was up.”
While enjoying the experience, Andrews pulled out the ring, which was fastened to him by string to keep it from floating away.
Cosme immediately burst into tears at the sight of the ring and accepted the proposal before Andrews even officially asked.
