The marriage proposal that ended in a plane crash

Every so often, we humans are given signs that help to direct our lives, our decision making.  These signs can be spiritual, or even seem coincidental.  But they definitely are there.

For example, what sign would you need to experience in order to rethink your matrimony ideas?  Losing the ring?  A horrible proposal experience?  Fire and wreckage?  An upside down sign?
All of these signs were made available to this Georgia couple recently.  The plan was to take his high school sweetheart ( a term we shouldn't use when the couple is only 19 and 18 years old....it's the girlfriend from last year) on a chartered plan trip circling Rome, Ga.  As they flew, family and friends were to hold a tarp asking the girl to marry the boy.  First, the sign was upside down.  Then the plane crashed.  Then the ring was lost.

Yet, they still intend to get married......perhaps dating longer, at least until the stars align properly, would be a better option.....oh, and the reason for the crash?  Low speed and low altitude.  Sounds like a recipe for aerial disaster....
