Where? Drift Beach Dubai Maria was casually swimming along in the sea when Mark took her out onto the beach and suddenly got on one knee to ask the most awaited question, 'Will you marry me?' He opened a ring box showing the most beautiful and dreamy pear shaped engagement ring that Maria had been dreaming about since forever. It was an instant yes. Made even more special knowing we were growing a little baby in Maria's tummy which we only found out a week before. To capture the moment, Mark asked a couple who were sunbathing by the beachside to take discreet photos/video of the proposal. See below.
