An expecting couple went above and beyond to find out the gender of their unborn child by using a helicopter to deliver the news.

Revealed! Then a helicopter is heard flying towards the gathering for the gender reveal
As the helicopter approaches the crowd, everyone erupts into cheers upon seeing the colored paint getting released from the aircraft. Then the footage shows the blue paint coming out of the far side of the helicopter over the pond.
It appeared the expecting couple was excited by the news about their bundle of joy as they were filmed hugging each other while the family and friends celebrated around them.
According to the Detroit News, the couple was unaware about what their gender reveal would entail, which was all planned by Adriana’s sister and father.
Talk about a celebration! Adriana Jirjis-Alsaigh and Samar Alsaigh, from Macomb Township, Michigan, decided to use a helicopter to share their happy news
Adriana’s sister had a cardboard box with blue and pink balloons tied to it, something she first pretended to the mom-to-be was how the baby’s gender would get revealed.
‘At first we opened up an empty box and kept hearing this noise like a helicopter,” she told the publication. ‘My husband and I didn’t think anything of it, just [thought] it was a helicopter, because the area my parents live in gets a lot of plane activity.’
The couple then knew it was their gender reveal once blue paint was sprayed out the side of the helicopter.
‘It was a complete surprise,’ Adriana said.
All along Adriana, who was 24 weeks along at the time of the reveal, thought she would be having a girl. But everyone else in her family, including her husband, all believed the baby would be a boy.
‘I actually thought it was a girl, but everyone else, including my husband, thought it was a boy and were extremely happy,’ Adriana said. ‘I thought we were going to do something small at the house, but my dad always goes above and beyond.’
The one downside to the now-viral gender reveal is that Adriana and her family have received negative comments online because of the extravagance.
Last week, Barstool Sports shared the footage with its followers after the original video went viral online.
‘Gender reveals are getting out of hand,’ the Instagram page captioned for its followers.
Many people online were in agreement that the effort to hire and use a helicopter for a reveal seemed like too much just to know if the baby will be a boy or a girl.
‘Nobody cares enough what gender your baby is to warrant this sh**,’ one commenter wrote about the over-the-top gender reveal.
Another person commented: ‘Imagine having so much money that you can afford to rent a helicopter AND have a baby. Wild.’
Although this gender reveal might be one of the most outrageous ones yet, it is not the only reveal idea to go viral since the tradition became popular years ago.
People have previously fired guns into the air, wrangled alligators, and even tossed a dyed watermelon into a hippopotamus’ mouth to discover what the gender of their baby will be.
These over-the-top spectacles might seem ridiculous to some, but the families involve always appear overjoyed by finally knowing the gender of their newest addition.
‘It’s going crazy and we’ve been getting a lot of hate comments saying “this is dramatic” or “this is their college fund” but whatever, everyone has an opinion these days,’ Adriana said about the critical comments.
