Nothing says commitment more than convincing an airport to bend its rules for a surprise proposal.

According to a Facebook video post from the Akron-Canton Airport in Green, Ohio, the United Airlines team helped a student pilot named Evan propose to his girlfriend Elizabeth, who works in the aviation industry in Seattle.

The clip shows Evan seated on the airport's baggage carousel, strumming an acoustic guitar as he rolled around to meet his girlfriend. He then stepped off the conveyor belt to applause from the crowd, and proposed.

"Absolutely," a surprised Elizabeth replied.
