Climbing to the edge of an active volcano would be exciting enough for most.

But this romantic boyfriend decided to take things one step further and planned a surprise proposal for his girlfriend, Alison, once they had reached the volcano’s rim. 

The couple were climbing their first volcano, Mount Bromo in Indonesia, when Jarod popped the question. 

The pair, who are from Canada, trek from ground level up the side of the volcano until they finally reach the very top and start walking along its narrow ridge.

‘However, little did Alison know, the day would turn out to be incredibly special for another reason.

‘She was so shocked and couldn’t believe it was really happening. 

‘After some tears of joy, a big “yes”, and some kisses, Alison quickly said she needed to get off the volcano as she couldn’t process both of these things happening at the same time. 

‘We feel so lucky to have found each other in this adventure called life and there is no one else we’d rather be beside.

‘Thanks to our friends Jenny and Stu for capturing the moment and helping make this all happen.’
