TORONTO -- A couple from Louisiana had their romantic trip to a Tanzania resort end in tragedy after the man died while proposing to the woman while underwater, according to local reports.

Kenesha Antoine posted a memorial to her partner Steven Weber that included photos and videos of the proposal on Facebook.

In the video, Weber can be seen swimming up to the viewing window of a submerged room that allows guests to look into the ocean. He then holds up a note proposing to Antoine and pulls out a ring before swimming out of frame.


The note read: “I can’t hold my breath long enough to tell you everything I love about you. But…everything I love about you, I love more every day! Will you please be my wife? Marry me???”

Antoine wrote in her memorial post that since Weber “never emerged from those depths,” he “never got to hear my answer, ‘Yes! Yes! A million times, yes, I will marry you!!’”

“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.

The U.S. Department of State is quoted in local reports on Friday confirming that a U.S. tourist had died in Tanzania, but did not offer details.

Maybe she's the opposite of a succubus.
Stick to normal fucking proposals people. If you want the thrill of oxygen deprivation, choke her a little bit before whipping out the ring.

Wow. You rarely see Darwin step in this close to Zero Hour. It's not quite as stupid as the couple who tried having sex on top of a slanted roof, but it's close...

Whoa, hold up:

Is that a farting tattoo on his right bicep?

One less beta cuck .

How to do this non-retard mode:
1. Take a basic scuba course before going on vacation
2. Tell hotel about your stunt
3. Hire scuba diver to wait just out of view of the window with extra tank
4. Suck air before swimming to window
5. Do the proposal
6. Go back to diver and suck air to the surface

Alternatively you could just wear the gear during the proposal. Also, this is what he gets for oil drilling.

This is not even worth a feels for the sheer stupidity on display here.

Weren't you there when he began the rest of your lives together?

He has the writing of a five year old. I don't think much of value was lost.

 

[Clop]

I can't feel sorry for something this stupid. It's not even tragic enough.

Why not just propose on the beach or better yet in private. Fancy proposals can feel like a trap unless you’ve told your partner they you’ll be proposing sometime in the future.

Just tell them and get consent first. Yeah it’s not as cool but you’ll look less stupid if you do.

I have pretty low expectations of humans. I mean, I read lolcow threads all day. But this is so rock-bottom stupid, I am having trouble believing it is real.

Once you go black you... forget how to swim?

His tatoos are shitty overall, and he has one of a bicycle over his wrist. Phil would want this guy to try out the imaginary stink ditch.

 

[Pocket Dragoon]

My question is, did he give her access to his bank accounts beforehand?

 

[オウム 2]

It's more likely to go viral this way and is that what he truly wanted?

 

[Oskar Dirlewanger]

Play stupid games...

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

This is so dumb that it warps into being hilarious.

Ok, so I had to know more about this. They were at the Manta Resort according to this article. It was also the first one that came up when searching underwater window hotel and Tanzania. The website seems to be down, might be purposeful, might be overloaded. The Underwater Room is $1700 a night with a 3 night minimum per archived site. It's a standalone 3 story structure with one underwater level, pictures and description here. Pic of underwater windows:



I'm real fucking confused.

 

[DildoGaggins]

As stupid as this was, I can't even really joke about it this is really fucking depressing. Especially considering she really did want to marry him.
