HOUSTON – What started out as a Sealy man’s cute plan to propose to his girlfriend turned into an airport wide celebration at Hobby Airport Sunday.
51-year-old Russell Rainwater reached out to Houston Airport’s for help in taking their love story to new heights.
He had originally wanted to just have a sign and have his brother record when the airport and Southwest Airlines told him they had a better plan.
So, when Rainwater’s girlfriend arrived Sunday morning from a trip, she was struck with crowds of people all leading to her boyfriend down on one knee.
“She said yes!” Rainwater exclaimed.
“It’s such an exciting, totally unexpected, I mean incredible surprise for me. I’m just so blessed,” said Rainwater’s fiancé Terri Jo.
The couple were also given live music, a cake and a chance to have their first dance as an engaged couple.
