I proposed in Santorini. We had been on a friend's holiday in Ibiza the week preceding, so I had hidden the ring inside a sunglasses case and it was in the safe with all of our friend's valuables, without any of them knowing. Even during long conversations late into the night I was able to keep my plan a secret. We travelled directly from Ibiza to Athens but at the airport our flight was cancelled. There was pandemonium in the airport with everyone scrabbling for remaining flights. Very sleep deprived by this point, I was too terrified of falling asleep with the engagement ring in my bag! We eventually worked out getting a ferry to Palma overnight to then fly to Athens from there the next day. We decided to spend the morning on the beach in Palma, I thought I could finally relax for a while, only to be informed that it was a pickpocket hotspot! We cut our losses and went straight to the airport and a few hours later finally made it to Athens. We had a lovely day there and then travelled to Santorini, where I had planned to propose in beautiful Oia. Very relieved to have kept the ring both safe and a secret, I found a quiet spot near the windmills looking over the sea and asked Nikita to look out so I could take a picture. When she wondered what was taking so long and turned around I was on one knee and asked if she would be my best friend forever. We both burst into tears and I assume at some point through this she said yes!
