The rapper and former girlfriend – now fiancee – Eudoxie Agnan are engaged to be married.

How did he do it?

Ludacris had “Eudoxie, will you marry me?” painted on a field below a plane, as they flew over. When they traveled over the huge display, Luda had her look down to see the proposal. Both of them posted the pictures on Instagram, seen at the end of this article.

“BEST DAY OF MY LIFE WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE,” she said. And Luda commented, “She didn’t say yes. She said HELL YES.”

Now, they didn’t formally announce it, but the hashtag seems to tell it all – #milehighproposal.

The pair were on a private flight from Atlanta to Costa Rica and the 37-year-old rapper proposed in front of the pair’s friends, including Monica and spouse Shannon Brown, LeToya Lucket and others.

The pair have been together over five years.
