Video: Man proposes to girlfriend on Gulf flight

It all started when Jack Sepilian and Sarin Aynedjian got on a Middle Eastern Airlines flight bound for Armenia from Lebanon.

Unique proposals are happening all around the Gulf, or so it seems. After the recent proposal of a Dubai expat to his partner at a fire station, another couple took the art of popping the question to literal heights.
It all started when Jack Sepilian and Sarin Aynedjian got on a Middle Eastern Airlines flight bound for Armenia from Lebanon. What started as a regular flight from one country to another became a special moment for the couple when Sepilian shared the couple's story, for all the passengers on the flight to hear.
'I want to tell you guys a short story about something that happened with me two years ago' Sepilian begins in the video. '.as I was flying back from there I met a woman who changed my whole life - and that person is Sarin.' At this point, he calls on her partner to stand up.
After sharing the story of the couple, Jack then popped the question to Sarin which she met with immense surprise. He got down on one knee while the passengers in the cabin applauded.

The ending? Amidst the tears of joy, Sarin said yes and the two got up to embrace each other. Apart from being happily engaged, Facebook page Lebanese Plane Spotters also shared the fact that this couple received two plane tickets to any honeymoon destination that MEA is operating in. How cool is that?
