GMA' Brings Skydiving Proposal to Life

How far would you go to propose marriage to the love of your life? Write it across the sky? Shout it from the highest mountaintop? Modern-day Romeos keep upping the ante, coming up with memorable ways to pop the question -- from flash mobs to crossword puzzles, hidden in movie trailers, TV commercials and more.

"Good Morning America" put a call out to adventurous romantics to submit their ideas for an extreme proposal and extreme wedding as part of the "Extreme Love" contest. Hundreds of entries poured in, but one submission stood out.
"It has been four years since we were supposed to skydive, and we still haven't gone," 27-year-old Kyle Monroe of Carbondale wrote to "GMA." "I'm sure that your staff has received several proposals that include skydiving, but this adventure has significance in our relationship. I think that after five years, Liz won't care how I ask her. I'm finally ready to propose."
"Good Morning America" came in and helped bring Monroe's extreme skydiving proposal to life on May 21, 2011.
Monroe told his girlfriend Navitsky that they were finally taking that sky diving trip, but kept the proposal part a secret. "GMA" set it up and came with cameras, which Navitsky was told were filming a promotional video for the skydiving company.

Taking the ultimate leap of faith, Monroe and Navitsky jumped from 15,000 feet above the earth. As Navitsky landed, she saw the question she'd been waiting for: "Marry Me, Liz?"
"I was just ecstatic. I was like, 'Get me down there. I was to get down there,'" she said. "I was so excited."
The extreme surprises weren't over yet for Navitsky. Monroe lead his lucky bride to a gathering with their family and friend.
Now the couple is dreaming up an extreme way to walk down the aisle.
"We're both kind of adrenaline junkies," Navitsky said. "We've chatted about a destination wedding and doing something extreme while we're there, like bungee jumping."
