The story:
Dieselfan contacted me quite a while ago to tow a banner, so that he could propose to his lovely lady.
The R&D was going a bit slowly though, and I was worried that we were going to miss the deadline (13 April). So after loads of discussing this way and that, we hatched the following plan.
I would take a skydiver on a microlight, circle over where he and his beloved are having a romantic picnic on the beach, and then climb to 3000', where the skydiver will jump out, with the ring, and present it to them on the beach.
Unique, spectacular and no chance of a "No"
The plan was initially approved by the Authorities, but yesterday at 13:30, we received a fax, saying that the airspace will be too busy, and approval has been withdrawn.
I immediately start to phone, but everyone left CAA for the long weekend . My skygod used all his contacts, including the private cell number of the commissioner, (and about 2hrs on the cellphone) to have it approved again, and we finally received approval at 15:45 (30min before I was due to take off for the jump at 16:30) A CAA official, Ronnie, stayed late, worked his but off, got hold of the schools at Virginia, of CAMU (Central airspace management unit), and managed to get it all approved in the nick of time. 
We managed to pull the whole thing off, and even have a video, taken by the skydiver, to prove that Dieselfan is now officially engaged to a beautiful and quite petit woman.
Congrats
ALRIGHT
