A man has died while attempting to propose to his girlfriend underwater during their “once-in-a-lifetime” holiday.
Steven Weber and his girlfriend Kenesha Antoine had wanted to fulfill one of the items on their bucket list when they went to the ocean together.
However, Weber dived into the ocean to pop the question to Antoine through the window of their submerged cabin in Tanzania.
Reports have it that inside the water, Weber pressed a piece of paper against the glass with the message: “Will you please be my wife?” He then opened a ring box before swimming up out of view towards the surface.
Ms. Antoine, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, posted the news on Facebook this morning with her response: ”Yes! Yes! Yes!
However, she later revealed that he “never emerged from those depths” to hear her answer.
“We never got to embrace and celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together, as the best day of our lives turned into the worst, in the cruelest twist of fate imaginable,” she wrote.
“I will try to take solace in the fact that we enjoyed the most amazing bucket list experiences these past few days, and that we both were so happy and absolutely giddy with excitement in our final moments together.
“I will find you and marry you in the next lifetime, and the next, and the next, and the next,” added Ms Antoine. ”I love you so much, and I always will.”
The couple were staying at a resort on Pemba Island off the coast of East Africa.
