do you want a vaguely romantic story I've told before?

Met the future Mrs Rushden on a volcano in Nicaragua in June 2010. Here we are.

She wasn't remotely interested for about 3 years, blah blah blah blah blah but I wore her down.

four years ago TODAY I proposed in the Guardian crossword 14525. I didn't work there then, I just asked if they'd stick a clue in. They did. Solve 8, 10, 12, 19, 21 across, and then 18, 15 down. You can try it here https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/quick/14525

here's the original. nice to think loads of people did this without any idea of the meaning.

then we got married and ShuttleBus71 left us a sweet message.
