“We worked out on the beach. I forgot the ring was in my backpack. We were sitting on the beach after. I thought she saw it,” he explained. “Turns out she hadn’t. It was such an impromptu proposal and random moment that she thought I was joking when I proposed. It was not a very good proposal. She laughed at first. And then she did say yes.”
