Love Is in the Air
Lynette Baker Helms

John and I were on our way to St. Louis, Missouri, for a quick trip of job interviews and apartment hunting. His job promotion required him to move, and, even though we weren’t engaged yet, he asked me to move with him.

We had discussed getting married and already looked at rings. John even asked my parents for their blessing (a little old-fashioned, but it scored points with the soon-to-be in-laws). Everything was set, though we weren’t officially engaged.

As we boarded our plane, I found our seats and put my bag into the overhead bin. Behind schedule, we sat waiting for departure and noticed one of the pilots leave the plane. When he returned we were ready for takeoff.

About twenty minutes into the flight the captain made the usual announcements: altitude, weather, arrival time, my name.

What? Did I just hear my name? My heart started pounding. Did I do something wrong? Did my bags not make the flight? What was going on? Even with all of these thoughts racing through my mind, I somehow heard every word:

“Attention please. Attention Lynette Baker. Lynette, John Helms would like to know if you would spend the rest of your life with him. If you accept, please press the ‘call’ button and the attendants will be with you shortly.”

My heart continued its thumping and my eyes filled with tears. When John opened a small ring box and smiled, I whispered, “Yes.”

He placed the ring on my hand and we embraced as the other passengers cheered. But wait . . . I was supposed to push the call button. I couldn’t reach it with my seatbelt still fastened, so my new fiancé gladly pressed it for me. All three attendants responded, one carrying a bottle of champagne.

As we landed and approached our gate, the captain again included us in his announcements.

“Congratulations to the newly engaged couple. On behalf of the entire crew, let me wish you the best.”

As we exited the plane, John thanked the flight attendants for helping with his plan. It was then that we learned that the pilot had left the plane earlier to get our bottle of champagne!
