Over the years people have gone to extreme lengths to ask their loved one for their hand in marriage.
But this one is a new one on us!
John Fairweather proposed to his partner Hannah while jumping out of a plane with the words: “Will you marry me?” written in marker pens on his white gloves.
The stunt was recorded and the video played to Hannah.
