A friend’s destination wedding was George’s answer to how to pop the question. Brandy’s love of dolphins and a trip to Hawaii played perfectly into his plans. He told Brandy that his uncle, who lived in Honolulu, had bought them tickets to swim with the dolphins. What Brandy didn’t know was that George had spent weeks working with the resort to plan a proposal not to be forgotten.
Upon arrival at the dolphin resort, George slipped a special something to one of the dolphin trainers, while another distracted Brandy with pictures. At the end of the show, the trainers announced that there was one more activity and asked George and Brandy to get into the water. The trainer explained that since the couple had been giving the dolphins fish all day, they wanted to give Brandy a thank-you gift. One of the trainers then threw a large floating box into the water and signaled the dolphin to retrieve it.
As Brandy opened the box that the dolphin brought to her, she was shocked to see that the inside was designed like a regular jewelry box, with an exquisite ring sitting in the center. George took the ring, asked his big question, and the dolphin did flips as George placed the ring on Brandy’s finger.
