On top of a mountain, above the clouds — what could be a more romantic place to get engaged?

Ron wanted his proposal to be a family event; after all, getting engaged is a significant moment in the joining of two families into one.

There’s a log just off the path where they’ve shared some special memories together, and what could be a better place to mark their next big step together?
