    ... Apparently, they were playing scrabble on a mountain somewhere, and he put down the letters "Will you marry me".
    After saying yes, I do hope Lara made him take the letters back. Thats completely against the Scrabble rules... :)
    OK Martin - how much was that Scrabble set?
    Were you able to return it for refund?
    Or was it a two for one offer?

    Congratulations!!
