The couples photo shoot was planned for Grindelwald First. However, on the day, the location was covered in cloud. I have a lot of experience and quickly suggested an alternative location.

Jessie thought it was a couples photo shoot. She didn’t know  Ming was planning to surprise her with a marriage proposal.

I arranged to meet Jessie and Ming at the Grindelwald to First gondola station. The TV screen in the ticket office showed blue skies on Grindelwald First above a layer of low cloud. However, this was an old picture. Not the live web cam feed.

Jessie and Ming had experience low cloud the day before on Mount Pilateus. Visibility was zero. They couldn’t see anything.

I suggested a visit to Lauterbrunnen. Situated in a valley, it’s always a good backup location. I took them to a viewpoint where we took some fun pictures.

The location is not public. It is owned by a farmer. We have got to know each other over the years!
