Have they ruled out that he killed her. It seems pretty weird. A news report on TV I saw said homicide had been ruled out. But it's possible they're just saying that so he doesn't think he's a suspect.

How do you pronounce Alforque? I think it's Arabic for "the fork," so ahl-faurk (they don't have an "oh" sound).

Stop it, guys, Japher will believe you.

[neerewed]

I would have pronounced it Al-fork.

[inmeirulez]

It's not that unlikely, people get swept out to sea in this manner on enough of a regular basis to view it as entirely possible. In fact, I believe 3 people were killed in a similar manner just last week along the coast as well.

Yeah, it might have been foul play, though. And given that it's Tillamook County, the police might very well be inept.

Why couldn't he have proposed during a live TV show or a parachute or bungee jump, like normal people do? Why are you always such an incorrigible *******?

I say i love someone and then put them in harms way?

???

By taking them out to a rock on the oceanfront which is known for wedding proposals?

WTF?

[Mumeseest]

GT, as the name and story indicated, this was a common place for people to stage their wedding proposals. I don't believe there's a history of this happening at this particular spot ever before, so I can see why no one would anticipate it being a danger. This was a freak wave hitting them, after all.

The poor guy thought it would be the perfect romantic spot where he could propose to the woman he loved...

Makes no difference that other beat the odds, its a tradgedy indeed, but many people become sheeple by not addresing the situation Beat the odds? That implies the odds are strong something like this would happen. Clearly they aren't, since this hasn't happened before, AFAIK.

There's an Inn nearby called Proposal Rock Inn. It's almost it's own little industry there. Nobody would think that going on the rock (and it's a HUGE rock right on the beach, not some small outcropping into the sea) would be particularly dangerous.

Basically what you're saying is akin to blaming some guy for taking his new bride on a cruise on their honeymoon and the ship sinks and she drowns. Why oh why did he try to beat the odds?!

As for me, I make sure to wrap my wife in kevlar every day before work. Well, sure, but you live in Baltimore. That's only taking reasonable precautions.

That's ****ed up.


Galnemer and I visited Oregon a couple years ago. We went to Cannon Beach, and walking along there, she considered proposing to me. She thought better of it, but luckily had another psychotic break just when I proposed to her a few months later.

That's a powerful imagination you have there, dude.

I think we've just seen the birth of Poly slash fiction.

Thanks
