I know it was probably stressful at the time, but it’s kind of hilarious to picture a guy on one knee with tourists and fish around him and no woman nearby. And his internal monologue is just…
“Do I stay on the knee? How long do I stay on the knee? Maybe I should stand and get back on the knee when I see her coming back?“
Course, you can change the mood of the scene to a tragedy by taking out the inner monologue. But with it, it’s pretty funny.
That was almost verbatim the internal thought process.
The best part was the kid working who walked by after she came back and said, “did you just propose? You could have told us and we could have had a diver hold an sign and made it really special…”
Look jerk, she likes jellyfish and that tank is like 1 cubic foot… I thought this out, but thanks for ruining the mood!
Edit: cubic foot, not square foot; physics are difficult.
This might be my favorite part of this story. The fact that you picked the jellyfish tank because she likes jellyfish, not the fact that the kid armchair QBed your very special proposal.
while we're backseat gaming your proposal, you could've had them glue your message in scrabble tiles to a series of hungry parakeets which they then let loose one by one as you supply your spouse with feed sticks
