Man Dr*wns Attempting To Propose To Girlfriend Underwater – TheNigerialawyer

A man has drowned attempting to propose to his girlfriend
underwater during their “once-in-a-lifetime” holiday.

Steven Weber dived into the ocean to pop the question to Kenesha
Antoine through the window of their submerged cabin in
Tanzania.

Video footage shows Mr Weber pressing 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 film on
Facebook on Friday morning with her response: ”Yes! Yes! Yes!”

However a few hours later she 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 cruellest 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.”

Ms Antoine, a lawyer, added: “You were a bright light to
everyone you encountered.
You never met a stranger, and you brought so much joy to so many
people. You were kind, compassionate, you regularly made me cry
with laughter, and you showered me with a love like none I’d ever
experienced.”

She also wrote that a few days earlier he had described the
holiday as a “once in a once-in-a-lifetime thing that people want
to experience before they die”.

“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.
An official at the US Department of State said they were aware of
the death of a US citizen in Tanzania.

“We offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their
loss,” a spokesperson said.

“We stand ready to provide all appropriate consular
assistance.”
