The big question requires a big sign and one man did just that and took his girlfriend on a small flight to pop the question.

Ryan Wilson, from Lewisport, Kentucky, built a huge sign reading ‘Marry Me’ in his garden with pieces of wood, before taking Shawna Aud on a plane ride and popping the question.

Ryan Wilson, from Lewisport, Kentucky, proposed to his then girlfriend, Shawna Aud by building a huge sign in his garden and taking her on a plane ride on October 16

The romantic gesture was helped by pilot Chris Conley, who said Shawna had ‘no idea’ that Ryan was planning to propose during the plane ride 

The pair went up in the air while the apprehensive Ryan looked on, waiting for them to approach the sign.

Shawna could be seen snapping shots of the view from the plane window and pointed out landmarks to a nervous Ryan.

And while his girlfriend was distracted by the view, the romantic man could be seen sneaking a ring out from his pocket.

Then, the plane banked hard to the left and as the sign came into review, Shawna’s jaw dropped.

The pair enjoyed a romantic kiss and enjoyed the remainder of their flight, circling around their house several times to allow the moment to sink in.
