CEO Recreates Scene From “The Wedding Singer” To Propose Mid-Flight

A clever CEO recreated a scene from a favorite movie to pull off an epic surprise proposal for his girlfriend mid-flight. Sam Riber and his then-girlfriend Lissy Alden were flying to Mexico on her birthday, which also happens to be Christmas Eve, when he treated her to a performance like Adam Sandler’s in the rom-com “The Wedding Singer.” And just like in the film, it ended with him getting down on one knee.

Since they’re both cinephiles, when Sam decided to propose back in October, he knew he wanted to copy the way Sandler did it in the film. Working with flight attendants and even enlisting code words to pull it off, he managed to sneak a prop guitar onto the plane without Lissy noticing, then halfway through their flight, he serenaded her with the song “Grow Old With You” from the movie.

Fortunately, Lissy, who had no idea what her boyfriend was planning, said “Yes!” “I was lucky enough to have the support of the flight attendants,” Sam shares, adding that they “went above and beyond to help, even introducing our code word ‘juice’ so I would know when to go up and grab the guitar they’d been hiding for me.” The bride-to-be says she “felt so happy” when he got down on one knee and she realized what was happening, saying it was “definitely a peak life moment.”
