Fly me to the moon

Starting in 2022 it will be possible to ask for your beloved’s hand in marriage while flying over the lunar surface to the sound of Frank Sinatra’s Fly Me to the Moon. The one-week interplanetary flight will be carried out using a self-contained and autonomous spacecraft allowing the two lovers to travel alone.

The ApoteoSurprise agency, a French marriage proposal planner specialising in creating extravagant proposals, introduces a new service for 125 million euros which will allow 21st Century Romeos to propose while flying around the moon.

Reaching for the moon in the name of love is about to become a reality, the ultimate goal of the Paris-based agency being to “stage the craziest and most outstanding marriage proposal of the last 13.8 billion years“.

From March 2022, elite couples will be able to book the service on www. proposeinparis.com and five months later find themselves enjoying the following programme:

Twelve weeks of technical and physical training; take-off on D-Day from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida; arrival in lunar orbit, three days later and flying over the satellite’s surface.

The Frank Sinatra song Fly Me to the Moon will be played halfway through the orbital flight, allowing the suitor to make his marriage proposal far from any form of human life (engagement ring secretly hidden in his spacesuit).

The spacecraft, traveling at a speed of up to 38,000 km/h, will be equipped with eight cameras allowing the couple to capture the romantic moment.
