LONDON, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Bear Grylls' proposal to wife Shara Knight involved skinny-dipping, butt cheeks and seaweed.

The 40-year-old survivalist recounted the tale during an appearance on Piers Morgan's Life Stories. Grylls is known for his sense of adventure and resourcefulness, and utilized both when he proposed while skinny-dipping in the ocean.

"I pulled out the ring from my butt cheeks," he recalled. "She was standing there going, 'What are you doing?' She was in a towel and a massive Atlantic roller came and I went, 'Will you...' -- and it went -- took me up to the beach."

"I had all the seaweed and I was spinning around," he related. "So I tried it again and in this sort of moment of heavy sedation she said yes."

Grylls and Knight have been married since 2000, and have three sons: Jesse, Marmaduke and Huckleberry. The adventurer currently stars on Running Wild with Bear Grylls, a reality series that sees him take celebrities into the wild for 48 hours. The program recently finished its first season on NBC.
