Irish Proposal featuring Bono!

 

Cliff wanted a very special way to propose to Fiona, his childhood sweetheart. The two were going on a hike to one of their favorite spots, and then Cliff arranged for an Irish group, Keywest, to be waiting at the top to start playing Fiona’s favorite song.

Cliff wore a camera around his neck, telling Fiona he was testing it for work. Then a camera crew, posed as tourists, were also near the couple filming the entire thing. What Cliff didn’t plan that day was that Bono from U2 would be hanging around the spot as well, and so the camera crew was able to get him to share some marriage advice with the soon-to-be-engaged couple (1:43).

When Cliff and Fiona reach the top, and the song is dedicated to them, Cliff drops to one knee (2:51). I love Fiona’s reaction. She is floored, and who wouldn’t be with a moment like that?

My favorite part has to be Bono’s advice. “Just know that marriage is like an act of grand madness. You jump off the top of Killiney Hill and discover you actually can fly.”

Way to pull at the heartstrings, Bono.
