A surprise marriage proposal on the Jungfraujoch on Christmas Day 2023. Siwen said yes to James on the Plateau glacier at an altitude of 3574 m. (11,400 ft.) above sea level.
I must admit that i wasn’t too happy when I received a message from Siwen’s sister after 11 pm on Christmas evening. They had changed the meeting time from 1 pm to 9 am. It meant only a few hours sleep for me. I managed it!
We traveled on the first train to the Jungfraujoch. It was packed with tourists. James and his family followed me from the entrance hall. Siwen didn’t know anything. To her, I was just another tourist showing them the way to the Plateau.
It was a good decision to change the meeting time. The “tour” sends tourists to the Sphinx viewing platform first. Which meant that the Plateau glacier was almost empty!
