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.

Would you really want a husband who is so inept he risks death just proposing?
 
Considering how much of a pathetic beta you'd have to be to even consider doing this, his fate was being in an "open relationship" hoping for sloppy seconds after tyrone. This was god being merciful.

Sleeping with the fishes is never going to be a good thing. I can't believe there is an actual hotel which uses that as a draw. How do people not lie awake all night waiting for the glass to crack?
Now there are even more death connotations going on, thanks to this messed up idea of a proposal.
 
Guy's dumb, but I feel so bad for his girlfriend.

That's the thing that gets me. This place is not fucking cheap. Either he was an exceptional individual and got his act together after getting the tattoos, or someone else was paying for this trip. It's $5k just for three nights in that place and there is a minimum booking of three nights. His fb has various colleges it looks like he never graduated from and a bunch of jobs including 2 addiction recovery centers he was likely a patient of including working/volunteering at.

The limited pictures I can see without having an fb make him look like a normal dude, but then the addiction centers + short term employment + failed education paint a different story.

Weird all around.

This is the woman: https://www.kdantoine.com/ He may not have been paying for it or at least not all of it. She may have some money.

Yeah, she'll probably lock down another guy in no time, especially now that she has the "tragic widow" angle going for her. Let's hope she chooses someone less prone to flights of beta male fancy next time.

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.

Do you Americans even realize how dumb this sounds? "If I were to propose to get married sometime in the future, would you agree?" Are you marrying a labyrinth guard from a Smullyan puzzle?

It's not dumb to ask someone for their consent regarding a life style change.

I wonder if she'll change the name of her notary business from "The Bluest Ink" to something a little less reminding.

Great title for the book she'll write about coming to terms with her sadness and loss after a stint of transient alcoholism and being assaulted that one time in a public restroom.

The accommodations are located above what is known as a "blue hole". This one is a recess roughly 40ft deep and they get their name from the deep blue color of the water you see when looking at them from above. They're very popular dive location around the world for scuba and snorkel from what I can tell. I have not seen anything about tidal dangers, but I wouldn't expect to from the tourist sites and blogs that are coming up as check this story out.

Is 40 feet deep enough that if he came up too fast it'd fuck up his blood?
