Chris, who is from London, had planned a special proposal for his girlfriend, Casey.
Casey is from Australia, and Chris planned a romantic getaway to Bali, Indonesia, for the two of them.
The gorgeous tropical island would be the perfect backdrop for Chris' moving proposal.
But just 25 minutes into their flight, everything changed.
The plane they were in suddenly lost pressure. The oxygen masks fell from the ceiling, and the passengers were told to take the brace position.
In that horrifying moment, many passengers thought they were about to die.
One passenger told 9News, "I actually picked up my phone and sent a text message to my family, just hoping that they would get it. We were all pretty much saying goodbye to each other. It was really upsetting."
As conditions worsened and passengers called their loved ones to say goodbye, Chris knew what he had to do.
He asked Casey to marry him, right there on the plummeting jet.
Casey said yes, although neither were sure they would make it to the ground, let alone their future wedding.
Thankfully, the pilot was able to make an emergency landing and everyone onboard was okay.
Chris and Casey "reconfirmed" their engagement once they were safe on the ground, but what a scary, but passionate proposal story!
