When author Durjoy Datta proposed to his girlfriend Avantika Mohan, he used his creative skills to wow her - over the internet.
While Mohan was on a two-hour flight, Datta sent a series of romantic tweets as he waited for her at the airport.
Using the hashtag #marrymeavantika, he told the world that he'd booked a wedding for them in a week's time. Problem was, he hadn't yet proposed.
Hi! I'm online for the next two hours. Because i need to tell you guys something. #marrymeavantika

I'm in love with a girl. Not surprisingly her name is. @avanttika! She has inspired almost every woman character of mine!

She's on a flight that's going to land in another two hours. Let's bully her into saying yes to my proposal? #marrymeavantika

Also she's on a flight so she has no idea this is going down. I will be waiting with a placard that says "love of my life". Could be lame.

Why her? Why not her! She's only like the best person ever. #marrymeavantika

Datta then tweeted a series of cute pictures of friends and family

I'm afraid if I don't get a proposal as amazing and adorable as @avanttika's, I think I'll probably remain single. @durjoydatta

Thankfully, Mohan was also impressed by her boyfriend's proposal.
SHE SAID YES!
