Dolphin Proposal
Miami Seaquarium did a tremendous job accommodating me and my fiance'. I decided months ago that I wanted to propose to her while swimming with dolphins, and I decided in late July of 2012 that Miami Seaquarium would be the ideal place to do it. The staff was beyond accommodating and very much in tune with what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. As my (then girlfriend) was exiting the water at the end of the sessoin, one of the instructors said "Excuse me, ma'am, Ringo (alpha male dolphin) has a surprise for you.". Then Ringo swam up with a bowie that said Will You Marry Me? Meanwhile, the photographer handed me the ring and I was on one knee behind her when she turned around to provide the 'actual' proposal. She said yes, and it was one of the happiest days of both of our lives. Neither of us had ever swam with dolphins before, nor had we been to Miami Seaquarium. One thing is for certain, though - we will definitely do both again! Thank you, Miami Seaquarium, for playing a vital role in this special occasion!
