Man proposes using bedsheets on farm to spell out ‘Will you marry me?’

We've reported on some pretty creative marriage proposals in the past, but this one involving bed sheets, farmland and an airplane kind of overshadows the more common underwater and flash mob proposals.

Tennessee native Clifton Smith proposed to his girlfriend using bed sheets to spell out “Will You Marry Me?” in 15-foot-tall letters he carefully placed in a field on his girlfriend's family farm.

“I had just talked to my parents a few months ago and thought of some really outlandish ideas,” Clifton Smith, 25, tells ABC. “And one of them was to see something in a plane. I originally thought about getting paint or something, but I wanted it to be more unique."

Unique it certainly was. He used 42 thrift store bedsheets cut into uniform strips and then used staples and wood to hold them to together.

Girlfriend Rachel Weakley, 25, was under the impression they were going in a plane as part of graduate school research for Smith. But little did she know that her father, an engineer, had used surveying equipment and an aerial photo to strategically cut out an acre-sized heart in the farm field below for her boyfriend to pop the question in a elaborate proposal.

“Once we saw the big heart in the field and the letters I turned around and looked at him and he had the box out and I said, yes, and started crying,” Weakley says. “It was just awesome. It was unbelievable.”

If you think this plane proposal is unique, don't forget about the pilot last year who faked a plane crash in is very own proposal. Luckily, it was a success.

And then there was the guy who proposed to his girlfriend with a sweet in-flight video on a commercial plane ride from San Fransisco to Long Beach. There was wide applause from other flight passengers who watched the teary girlfriend say, yes.
