Watch: Man's Proposal at 40,000 Feet Draws Cheers from Pride Flight Passengers

Passengers on a Virgin Atlantic Pride flight enjoyed an unexpected high note: one man's in-flight proposal to his boyfriend, LGBTQ Nation reports.

"Virgin Australia held its first-ever Pride Flight from Brisbane to Sydney before this year's Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras," QNews reported in text accompanying video posted to YouTube, "and gay couple Chris and Cedric's mid-air marriage proposal took passengers by surprise."

Virgin frequent flyer Chris Lai "said he wanted to propose to his fiancé Cedric Thiery on a plane because the couple has a 'passion in flying and sky is home for me,' " the LGTBQ Nation story said. The men's journey home to Melbourne from Los Angeles seemed like an ideal occasion.

The Pride flight's crew supported his romantic caper, Lai said, "So this is the perfect flight for me to do the proposal and make my dreams come true."

Allowed to access the plan's intercom system to spring his proposal on Thiery, Lai said, "Cedric, I am the person I am today because of you. You championed my finest, and tolerated my worst.

"On my 110th Virgin Australia flight and my first Pride Flight, I only have one question for you, Cedric," Lai added, before putting his rainbow-colored mask back on and making his way back to Thiery. As fellow passengers clapped and cheered, Lai took a knee, presented a ring, and popped the question.

The men sealed the deal with a masked kiss, the story said.

"When they announced a special announcement by Chris for Cedric," Thiery said, "I kind of started to get an idea of what was going on, maybe."

Flashing a large certificate emblazoned with a rainbow and reading "CongratuGAYtions," Lai said that he had the honeymoon "sorted, so I can go wherever I want to."
