PORTLAND, Texas (AP) _ A South Texas farmer with friends who take him high places asked his girlfriend to marry him by mowing his proposal into a field.
The Corpus Christi Caller-Times (http://bit.ly/1UY2348 ) reports Ruston Smith has a pilot friend who flew him and his girlfriend over the field.
Smith, who’s a 22-year-old farmer from Beeville, arranged to use a plane belonging to his rancher boss and a grassy field on the owner’s property.
Kobi Sliva of Sinton said “yes” on Saturday when she saw the field near Portland mowed with the message “Marry Me.” The 21-year-old Texas A&M University student says she was in shock to see such a proposal, which she says took a lot of thought.
Smith says he decided to do something special for his girlfriend of six years.
