American Man Dies During Underwater Marriage Proposal in Tanzania
An American man on Thursday lost his life in Tanzania after he drowned while proposing to his girlfriend.
Steven Weber, who was on vacation with his girlfriend Kenesha Antoine, was attempting to make an underwater marriage proposal to her when he drowned.
The couple was reportedly staying in a wooden cabin with a bedroom submerged below the ocean surface at the Manta Resort, off Pemba Island.
A video uploaded on Facebook by Ms. Antoine showed Weber swimming underwater and holding a handwritten marriage proposal against the bedroom window.
“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! “Will you please be my WIFE. Marry me???” the note read.
In another post on the social media site, Ms. Antoine stated: “You never emerged from those depths, so you never got to hear my answer, ‘Yes! Yes! A million times, yes, I will marry you!!”
“We never got to embrace and celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together, as the best day of our lives turned into the worst, in the cruelest twist of fate imaginable.”
In a statement, Manta Resort CEO Matthew Saus, noted: “Our sincerest condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with his girlfriend, families, and friends impacted by this tragic accident.”
The incident was confirmed by the US State Department in a statement that stated: “We offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss. We stand ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance.”

That was the craziest thing even a career fool won’t attempt, We got Popeyes chickens all over the world, just make an order for hot & mild with large fries , large drinks ( don’t forget catch up) then ask for marriage. I guarantee you to get a YES right away as long as her name sounds like :Nakeesha, Takaneesha, Tamika, Lashona, Lowanda,Lashonda.,.,, etc
Plus: Laneesha, Tingeesha, Lafreesha, Taneesha, Chafreesha. Moneesha, Changeesha, etc. 😁😁😁😁😁
I forgot: Kenya, India, Asia, Mauricia, Tanzeesha. See?
Keep in mind Nakeesha, Takaneesha, Tamika, Lashona, Lowanda,Lashonda don't kill their spouses like wairimu, WANJIKU, wangare, wachuka, etc, etc.
This is sad, very sad. This mean WORDS (like “I can’t hold my breath long enough....") have power. Any way.
He should have known he doesn't have gills. No matter how you love someone, there are silly things you should never do; especially if they have potential to compromise your life together.
Creativity is good but this is beyond sad. How deep did he go, what time, current of the ocean, etc. Was all this looked to make sure there's safety for guests? Pole sana
Every man proposes in a different way.
It's been revealed the woman's real name is Jecinta Wanja Kenyan born.
The name Wanja is Kikuyu. Right?

I would hope you are as accomplished and generous with your time as the young lady. She suffered a huge loss and instead of condolences, all you can do is troll. I hope when you lose someone in your family, people are more understanding than you.
10 meters deep was his dive.
@Mwariama; hope you kidding! Her real name is Wanja???? NOOOO! NOT AGAIN.
Cohen is not even buried yet;Haki!
Was he intoxicated??
No she is American born and bred and is an attorney in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was from Zachary Louisiana (a bit north of Baton Rouge) and worked with addicts. They both appear to be socially conscious and involved in their communities. The over the top proposal appears to be something this new generation is doing possibly for hits on social media with occasionally tragic results.
THIS KIKUYUWAMJOMBA is as stupid as his name sounds. very foolish. please dont procreate. do the world a favor.
Scariest part is people making jokes about the dead. Dunia imepasuka. Pole sana to the fiancé and family.
@ Christopher; you can't fix stupid bro! Here the dude was dumb as fuck. How dare you do something dangerous as that and expect people to empathize with you! This is the reason you don't hear instances of black folks climbing Mt. Everest! or buried by snow avalanches.
