Could be worse. He could've proposed during a baseball game.

Two Nepalese climbers got married on top of Mt Everest. The guy can always claim later High Altitude Cerebral Edema made him do it.

Temperatures at the summit were bitingly cold and the weather treacherous, so they had to make the ceremony quick.

They briefly took off oxygen masks and donned plastic garlands while the groom put traditional red powder on the bride's forehead — for Nepalese the equivalent of exchanging rings.

The couple had not told friends and relatives of their plans and were to hold a more formal wedding later in Katmandu, although the date was not set.

On Thursday, a Russian-built MI-17 helicopter crash-landed at Everest's base camp as it tried to collect the married couple and other climbers who had scaled the peak earlier this week. No one was seriously injured, although some suffered bruises and cuts, said Prakash Adhikari of the Himalayan Rescue Association.

Hey, nothing is more romantic than oxygen masks, red powder, dangerous weather and a crashing helicopter. No word if Bob Seger will attend the second service.
