Hot Air Balloon Marriage Proposal Goes Up In Flames (Don't Worry, Everyone Is OK)

Sparks Were Flying For All The Wrong Reasons After This Man Proposed

After Stephen Richardson proposed to girlfriend Brandi Runyan during a hot air balloon ride on Saturday, sparks were flying -- but for all the wrong reasons.

According to ABC News, the couple and five others were on board when the balloon crashed into a live power line in Noblesville, Ind. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured in the accident, but some people in the area did lose power temporarily. (Check out a video of the accident above.)

Richardson told ABC News that the couple of two and a half years doesn't consider the crash a bad omen.

“She wanted a story and she got one,” he said. “Especially after this, we’ll just keep [the wedding] simple.”

The FAA is now investigating the crash, NBC Chicago reports.
