Overview

  • Tim Sullivan used computer-assisted design and consultant support beginning in April to plant a 13-acre maze spelling out “Will you marry me, Caroline?”
  • Both Sullivan and fiancée Caroline Liggett work in agriculture and had anticipated an elaborate gesture to mark their engagement
  • The maze featured three flower patterns above the question and pumpkin motifs woven through its lower section for added detail
  • During the helicopter flyover near Columbus, Ohio, the pilot circled back so Liggett could read the message before Sullivan landed and proposed on one knee
  • The Sullivan family farm’s corn maze will reopen to fall visitors in September, revealing the engagement display to the public
