Darrell Hamilton bought a ring, and planned a scenic flight over Reedley, in central California. He made her a special sign on the ground, and even organised video cameras so they’d remember the special moment forever. Even the weather was perfect.

However, he didn’t factor in motion sickness.

Heroically, he popped the question anyway ...Source:YouTube

The video, posted to YouTube, shows him looking an increasingly unsightly shade of green as the plane turns to look for the special sign.

Just as he reached into his pocket to pull out the ring, he could take it no more.

“Will you marry me?” he asked, thrusting the ring in his girlfriend’s direction before dropping his head between his knees and vomiting for all he was worth.

She didn’t bat an eyelid, simply rubbing him on his back as he threw up and threw up and threw up in the back of the plane. Surely that’s a sign of true love.

Luckily for Hamilton, she said yes, but rather than celebrate with a vomit-flavoured pash, she opted to blow him a kiss instead.

He clearly saw the funny side, uploading the video to YouTube with the caption: “I just thought I’d share a priceless memory from the day my girlfriend and I got engaged.

“But I ended up throwing up immediately after giving her the ring.”
