LOS ANGELES (WTHR/NBC News) – An American man has died while proposing to his girlfriend underwater during a vacation in Tanzania, NBC News reported.
Steven Weber drowned while asking Kenesha Antoine to marry him at an island resort off the east coast of Africa Thursday.
Antoine shared the news of Weber’s death on her Facebook page, saying that he “never emerged from those depths.”
She also posted a video of the proposal where Weber can be seen holding a handwritten note in a clear plastic bag up to the window of an underwater room.
“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,” the note read.
He then flipped the note to show the other side, which read: "Will you please be my wife. Marry me?”
Weber then produced a ring before swimming up out of view.
It’s not clear from the post what happened after that.
"Yes, we were, my perfect love, my angel, my soul. Yes, we were, and I will carry the blessing of the love we shared with me forever," Antoine wrote on Facebook. "I will find you and marry you in the next lifetime, and the next, and the next, and the next... I love you so much, and I always will."
Antoine's Facebook post has been shared more than 6,000 times.
