  • According to The Washington Post, on their third day at the resort, Weber went into the sea and proposed to Antoine from outside the cabin's glass.

    He showed her a handwritten note, wrapped inside a ziplock bag, "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!"
