Assemblyman Lloyd Levine and KCRA-TV journalist Edie Lambert are getting hitched.
The Van Nuys Democrat popped the question Thursday to his longtime lady friend during a flight from Sacramento to Seattle, where the couple spent Thanksgiving visiting relatives from both families.
"They're engaged and they're incredibly happy," said Alex Traverso, Levine's spokesman.
No date for the wedding was announced.
Levine could not immediately be reached for comment. Traverso said the three-term lawmaker was willing to confirm his engagement but was reluctant to broadcast it personally.
Thanksgiving carries a special significance for the couple -- and apparently always will.
Exactly two years ago, Levine and Lambert met in a chance encounter, hundreds of miles from home, inside a Seattle airport during a Thanksgiving Day visit to relatives.
Upon meeting, they began talking casually, one passenger to another, and each apologized because neither recognized the other, Levine recalled in an interview last spring.
"We've been dating ever since," Levine, 38, said at the time. "She's absolutely wonderful."
Because of incorrect information provided by Traverso, earlier versions of this post said the proposal came on Friday on the return flight from Seattle.
