The adrenaline-pumping proposal was caught on film as Pack and Line took part in a charity skydive at Sibson Aerodrome near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, on September 5.
Telecommunications worker Pack, 37, said: “I’d arranged with the instructors to land before Katie so I’d have time to prepare the proposal sign. They went to the extreme of giving me a smaller parachute, spiraling more in the air to get down to the ground quicker and free-falling for longer.”
“I then had the family on the ground with some large painted signs and then I just hoped for the best that Katie could read it from the air.”
