Huge wave crashes proposal, she says ‘yes’ anyway
“I had the most amazing/crazy proposal on the 21st! I was surprised by a song written by my fiancé. He sang it atop a rock surrounded by the ocean waters at Laguna beach. As soon as he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, a HUGE wave completely engulfed us and washed us up to shore. Soaking wet, I quickly jumped up and said YES!”
