I've done it now ............
On my recent trip to New Zealand and Australia I asked my wonderful girlfriend to marry me and she said yes! Actually I can't believe that I've got caught, I thought I'd got away with it!
Here's a photo the morning after on Doubtful Sound - I'll spare you all the details but it was romantic!

We didn't get a chance to go in the powerstation, but they have a new visitors centre now, and it has lots of information, photos etc and it certainly looks worthy of a visit, probably not as romantic as out on the sound under the stars though!
Thanks for the congratulations boys!

When you say 'romantic', are you being smutty?
