Get ready to be swept off your feet with this enchanting love story! When Will Henderson set out to ask the love of his life, Steph Carter, to marry him, he took the adventure to new heights—quite literally. With a brilliant plan and a golden canola crop, he turned a simple proposal into an unforgettable moment in the sky.

In the embrace of the Australian spring, nestled among vast fields of golden canola, Will hatched a whimsical idea for his proposal. A farmer by trade and a romantic at heart, he envisioned a breathtaking, surprise proposal high above the earth, where love meets the clouds.

With a heart full of hope, Will whisked Steph up in a small plane to witness the vibrant expanse of their blossoming relationship—a love cultivated over many years. As they soared to about 10,000 feet, the breathtaking landscape below became a canvas for his grand gesture.

“It felt so special,” Steph reflected on that magical day. She had sensed Will might propose soon, but the method he chose left her completely speechless. “I had no idea he’d go all out like that!”

Will’s ambitious plan had taken weeks of meticulous preparation, sprinkled with a few clever fibs to keep the surprise intact. He charted out the letters of “Will you marry me?” in a vast canola field, using GPS technology to guide the precision of his work. Spanning over 12 meters for each letter, it took immense effort to ensure that everything was just right.

“A couple of the letters were a bit wonky, so I had to re-sow some by hand,” he chuckled, recalling the challenges. “Steph usually loves to explore the crops with me, but I had to create excuses to keep her away from the field.”

The joy didn’t end with the proposal, which was just the beginning of a celebration. Will arranged for friends and family to gather at their home, anticipating their joyous return as an engaged couple. In the close-knit Blighty District, where distance can mean hours of travel, their loved ones’ presence made the day even more special.

Looking toward the future, Steph shared their plans for a wedding in 2027, envisioning a beautiful celebration in her parents’ garden. With their hearts intertwined, they are ready to embark on the next chapter of their shared adventure.

Let’s raise a glass to young love, and all the beautiful moments that inspire it!
