"I was enamored with her
from day one and I was like, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with
her," Shandiz told the station.
"I would joke with her and tell her that when we get engaged, it'll happen on a Delta flight."
And that's exactly what happened.
On Friday, in the middle
of a flight from Chicago's O'Hare International to New York's LaGuardia
Airport, Shandiz suddenly addressed a visibly shocked Williams over the
plane's intercom (with the airline's permission) as other passengers
looked on.
The proposal was captured on a video posted on YouTube.
"From the moment I met
her that night, I knew that I never wanted to spend a second without
her," Shandiz announced as Williams rocked in her seat with emotion.
"Would you marry me?"
The cabin erupted in
applause as Williams said yes. Shandiz then presented her with the ring
and the couple kissed awkwardly in the cramped cabin.
Delta treated all
passengers on the flight with champagne to celebrate the engagement. It
also surprised the couple with a free trip for their honeymoon, WGN
reported.
"It was magical to say
the least and it's been a fairy tale from the moment we met. I can't say
how elated and lucky I feel," Williams said.
