Emily and Nathan met online and hit it off right away. “He was a nice guy to talk to and good looking, which of course, helped,” says Emily. “Nathan proposed to me in July 2020 in the Shropshire Hills. He took the biggest rucksack in the world and filled it with fleeces, waterproofs and everything you would need, even though it was July! I didn't think much of it, but he later said that he didn't want me to find the ring, so he filled it to the brim in case I needed anything! Just before he proposed, there was a steep hill, I remember walking up and turning around, and he was fumbling around with the bag, and I thought, 'I'm just going to carry on as this hill is too steep to wait around!'. At that moment, Nathan was grabbing the ring from the bag and putting it in his pocket! When we reached the top, he took a photo with my back facing him. I remember standing there for ages and saying, 'Are you done yet?' Nathan replied, 'Nearly there', but he sounded like he was standing right behind me, so I responded with, 'You're standing too close, the photo is going to be rubbish!' He soon shouted, 'Done!', and I turned around, and there he was, down on one knee with the box. He hadn't even opened it yet, and I burst into tears.”
