Proposal

September 2nd 2019

Days before I was packing Matts suitcase for Aurba hoping to find a ring somewhere, but nope! Then when we arrived in Aurba I unpacked again hoping that maybe I would find a ring, still no. I tried one last time to hopefully get some hope of a proposal and asked Matt if we could do a sunset cruise. (Thinking that would be so romantic and perfect!) Well he said “....no” so I just gave up and thought, well this isnt going to be the trip. A couple days later we went on the Jolly Pirate Snorkeling excursion. On the last stop of the day and after a few pirate punches, I remember waiting to jump off the boat with Matt and getting annoyed that he decided to hang back and talk to the crew. Then this girl came over to me and told me “he is trying to get the guy to get a video of you jumping off the boat”. Finally Matt comes walking over to the edge of the boat and we jump in. A crew member jumped in after Matt and appeared to have Matt's phone with him. I asked "is that your phone" and he said "nope" not thinking anything of it I continued snorkeling and looking at all the fish. Moments later I notice Matt frantically bobbing his head under water like a goose! I thought he saw a huge fish! (But apparently as he was reaching for the ring in the back pocket of his bathing suit a wave knocked the ring out of the box!...) As I was looking at all the fish and trying to find Nemo I noticed something floating in the water infront of me so I reached out and grabbed it . It was a white pillow and on the other side was a ring! When I came up with it and Matt saw that I found it he was relieved and snatched it back from me ! He said "Well, I might not get everything right, but you're always there to catch me. Will you marry me?" Of course I said yess!! It might not have been ideal to almost drop the ring to the bottom of the ocean to become fish food, but for us it was perfect ! Good thing Matt got it on video lol
