American Airlines flight attendant Teri Ramirez shared the sweet story on her Instagram. She detailed how a passenger named Sam coordinated his proposal with the crew.
Ukulele in hand, Sam’s plan was to recreate an infamous scene from the 1998 Adam Sandler rom-com The Wedding Singer. In the movie’s big finale, Sandler’s character boards a plane carrying his love interest, played by Drew Barrymore.
With the help of the crew, Sandler serenades Barrymore over the intercom with a song he wrote for her, titled “Grow Old With You.”

Ramirez shared Sam’s recreation of the romantic scene with the couple’s permission.
“It was an absolute joy flying on Christmas Eve and helping a passenger’s wedding proposal go through smoothly!” she captioned the sweet video. “Sam let the flight crew know he was planning on proposing to his girlfriend, Lissy, during the flight and asked for our help!”
“We made sure the Captain was aware so he wouldn’t interrupt the proposal on the PA,” she detailed. “Passengers and crew wrote notes for the couple and flight attendants were the photographers and videographers!”
Most importantly, Ramirez said, “SHE SAID YES!!!!”
“It was a win-win for all of us! They got engaged and we are now friends for life!! Congrats to Sam and @lissyfreshhh!!! ❤️,” she wrote, also thanking her fellow flight attendants.
