I’m a sucker for two things: romantic stories and contests.

This lovely couple has a great story for you. The guy, Micah, first blindfolds his girlfriend, Rachel, and then leads her to a small airplane which he flies over their favorite beach and parks. (Yes, this groom can fly his own plane! How cool is that?). He lands on an “airstrip” in a field he mowed himself where an upright piano is sitting randomly. He then plays one of her favorite songs, The Scientist by Coldplay, but sings it with revised words to make it all about her.

Here’s a youtube montage of the day with the song he sings in the background. Skip ahead to 2:30 for actual footage of the proposal.

The best part? This cute proposal is entered in the BestForBride.com contest. They’re hoping to win $1000 gift certificate toward a bridal and bridesmaids dresses.  As a winner of a wedding related contest with my Simon G. engagement ring in December 2010, I know how much of a blessing winning something like that can be. If you found this proposal as romantic as I did, please click the link below and vote for this couple. Spread the word!
