PROPOSING DORK DROPS RING INTO OCEAN

Kayla Harrity, 24, and her boyfriend, 25-year-old Matthew Picca, were on a vacation with her family in Southport, NC when he decided to surprise her with a proposal. Outside a restaurant located on a pier, Kayla says she “turned around and he was getting down on one knee. As he opened the ring box, the ring fell out of the box and fell through the cracks on the deck and into the water. I didn’t even get to see it before it dropped.” Kayla says everyone was in total shock and speechless. “I covered my face and began to cry because I knew my boyfriend was devastated,” she said. “Matthew did not even get to say anything to me before the ring fell into the ocean.” Almost immediately, Kayla says, several people went down to the boat slip underneath the bar and jumped in the water and started looking for the ring. Plus Kayla’s brother-in-law, sister and Matthew all jumped into the water, fully clothed, to search for the ring. “At the bar, there were three men who were enjoying a beer who saw the whole thing,” Kayla said. “They must have felt bad for us and did not want to see our engagement end like this. They jumped in the water and helped look for the ring.” On top of everything else, Matthew’s phone got ruined because Kayla’s sister thought it had a waterproof case, and stuck it under the water to use as a flashlight. “I began running to the neighboring restaurants asking if anyone had goggles,” Kayla said. “I knew if we had some we could find the ring.” After getting ten flashlights and five pairs of goggles, and after an hour and a half of searching in the water, the ring was found by a man named Kyle Blusher. Kayla says: “Everyone at the bar was cheering. All of a sudden, everyone was chanting ‘Propose again! Do it again!’. It was the best feeling in the world. My fiancé, soaking wet, smelling like salty, fishing water, proceeded to get down on one knee and put the beautiful ring on my finger! The energy of everyone at the bar was incredible. It was a total shock that he even found the ring. We walked upstairs and bought the men who helped us a round of shots. They were amazing and we are so grateful to have their help that night.”
* I think she should marry the guy who found the ring, not the dork who dropped it.
* What a happy story. Now imagine adding just one shark to the mix.
* Imagine after all that if she said, “No.”
* “I’m sorry I just need a little more time to think about it.”
* I’m glad they retrieved the ring from the ocean. For a second there this guy was almost engaged to a sea urchin.
* I can just hear the ceremony now: “Do you, Mr. Butterfingers, take this woman to be your bride…”
* Then at the reception: “I’d like to propose a toast to the bride and Mr. Klutz here.”
