On the top of Ben Nevis, with an inversion layer about 100 feet below the top, so there was nothing but the top of Ben Nevis sticking out the cloud.

And then an RAF jet came up out of the cloud, circled the top a couple of times, and dived back below again (bit brave when there are some other big hills down there...)

1992, still going...

In the Blue Lagoon spa in Iceland on Christmas Day.

Ring tied into shorts. Was a touch scared of losing ring before picking my moment...

oh i've just remembered - after the proposal on a rugged scottish coastline, we went for a celebratory curry in ullapool, where we were staying. They told me after the meal they didn't accept cards, so we said we'd just go to the cash machine down the road, but basically did a giddy runner like a pair of teenagers instead!

Some truly stomach churning displays of happiness in this thread.
I'm glad I'll never be that happy frown

Walked to a nice country pub for a meal on a summer evening last year, I was planning on popping the question on the walk to the pub but she was faffing on her phone for most of the walk so didn't really get a chance. Decided to do it on the walk back home, it was dark but had been a nice evening and was somewhere very quiet (she'd hate anything vaguely public).

Went down on one knee, she swore thinking I was taking the piss (wasn't the first time)..

.. think I need to refine this story a bit for the speech on Saturday.

And you win Bully's bonus prize!

We live in Torre, so not very far away either.

On one knee as per tradition...naked,after sex!
A spur of the moment thing,so no ring(dread to think where I could put it!!) Cue many hours ring shopping the next day, to buy the very first bloody one we saw!
Actually put on her finger in a quiet Peterborough churchyard

In a holiday cottage in the Lakes with her folks, my brother and sister. She said yes.
However 2 things went wrong. Firstly, I never knew ring sizes differed between the UK and Europe. And I'd used a trip into a jewellers in Spain to ascertain what I thought was the right size.
Second - her Dad pointed out that I should perhaps get divorced first as bigamy is still illegal here.
Both issues have since been resolved.

Took about six weeks, every time we went somewhere romantic, she phoned her Mum, one of her mates, she even bought a new car from the end of a beautiful point in Cornwall!

There was even a bottle of champagne I had been carrying around making excuses not to drink.

In the end I made her do an 8 mile coastal trek (no reception) cross a tidal bridge and climb to the end / top of a peninsula (Worm's Head). I asked if she 'wanted some bling' she said 'put it on my finger now'.

At the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, just after we had got out of the helicopter.

Got married 2 days later in a helicopter over Las Vegas strip at night.

In Venice, under the "Bridge of Sighs" (obviously during a Gondola ride).

Worm's head, Gower, Swansea?
I live not too far from there, lovely place to propose!

Never thought of that I'm down there at least once a month!
