Seal-Heidi: There are stories where people in love go to extreme lengths to win their love. Singer Seal and model Heidi Klum’s love story was similar. Not only did Seal make his proposal unique by flying her 15,000 feet high into the mountains, but he proposed to her on an uncharted terrain on a glacier. Interestingly, he also got their own personal igloo made for the moment. Quoting Heidi, a Marie Claire report said that he took her on a helicopter to a Canadian ski resort of Whistler.
