It seems to me that almost anything by Edgar Rice Burroughs could probably fit in here.

A quick random scan found the following near the end of "The Return of Tarzan":
Quote:
The next morning, as they were preparing to embark upon the cruiser, Tarzan ventured a suggestion to Jane Porter.

"Wild beasts are supposed to be devoid of sentiment," he said, "but nevertheless I should like to be married in the cabin where I was born, beside the graves of my mother and my father, and surrounded by the savage jungle that always has been my home."

"Would it be quite regular, dear?" she asked. "For if it would I know of no other place in which I should rather be married to my forest god than beneath the shade of his primeval forest."
You can find the equivalent, and better, in almost any of them you pick up, whether it's Tarzan in his jungle, or John Carter on Mars, etc. etc. etc. And the covers!

Discard your PC inclinations, turn off your credibility sensor, and push away your desire for subtlety. Take a deep breath of credulity and dive in.
