While at the bridge, Greve knelt and proposed in front of the Black Sabbath bench. The bench features images of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. Bok described the day as “the best day of my life” and showed off the ring she had dreamed of for years.
According to People, photos captured the magical moment. Greve held out the ring, Bok reacted with joy, and the couple displayed their matching rings. Fans also noticed the flowers and tributes to Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away in July 2025. The moment felt both personal and historic for the couple.
Celebrating Love And Heavy Metal History
After the proposal, the couple visited other Black Sabbath landmarks. They explored the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery’s Ozzy exhibition and the Crown pub, where the band performed their first gig. Greve and Bok have known each other for over a decade and dated for two years before the engagement.
The couple plans to marry around Halloween, either this year or next. For these Black Sabbath superfans engaged at the heart of the band’s history, the moment was a dream come true. It combined love, music, and memories in a way only true fans could appreciate.
