MELTON MOWBRAY, England, July 29 (UPI) -- A Melton Mowbray, England, man said he proposed to his girlfriend by plowing his proposal into a cornfield and flying her overhead.
Robert Szabo, 27, said he plowed the words "Sarah Marry Me" inside of a giant circle in a cornfield and then had a pilot take him for a flight over the cornfield with his intended, The Daily Mail reported Tuesday.
"The pilot flew the plane past the field and pointed it out," Szabo said. "Sarah was overwhelmed, absolutely gob smacked. A few tears were shed but she said 'yes' straight away."
Szabo's now-fiancee, Sarah Garside, said: "It was the greatest day of my life -- the most romantic thing anyone has ever done. I had to read it a few times before it sunk in."
