Hot air balloon proposal goes to ground

Funny things can happen in hot air balloons but we are reminded of an incident when a vicar in America decided to take a hot air balloon ride over Ohio and propose to his girlfriend who was enjoying the experience with him. The all important ring was hidden in his camera case but at the crucial moment the vicar dropped the case overboard. His girlfriend accepted his proposal and the ring made from a plastic tie!
As the vicar was unable to afford to buy another £2000 ring his fiancé proudly wore a £5.50 ring from Wal-Mart. Having mapped the co-ordinates the vicar began the search for the ring, cutting through the brambles and after a week searching a three mile area he found the camera bag and the ring! Nothing like that has happened on any of the flights launched from the hundreds of local sites, but we can arrange for you to celebrate a wedding, or an engagement, from a launch site close to you.
