In a memorable mid-flight moment, Sam Riber, a 34-year-old CEO from Pennsylvania, proposed to his 37-year-old girlfriend Lissy Alden while en route to Mexico for her birthday celebration. Inspired by the romantic movie 'The Wedding Singer', Riber orchestrated the proposal during their flight by secretly coordinating with the flight attendants, who played a crucial role in executing his plan. Riber had managed to smuggle a prop guitar onto the plane without Alden noticing and created a distraction for her, performing the iconic song 'Grow Old With You' as the climactic moment drew near. Alden was initially unaware of the true nature of the excitement onboard, as she attributed it to her birthday celebrations. However, the surprise element added to the charm of the proposal as she expressed her joy and said 'Yes' when Riber asked her to marry him. This unique and heartfelt method of proposing not only highlighted Riber's creativity but also depicted the lengths one would go to celebrate love. Their shared appreciation for film added an extra layer of intimacy to the event. The couple had been dating for almost eight months prior to the proposal, and despite it being a surprise, they had previously discussed plans for a future together, making the moment even more significant.
