Matthew Hartman wanted to propose to his girlfriend Elizabeth, so he stood on a rock at Laguna Beach, ready to play her a romantic song he had written. Watch what happened next…
Yikes! “Soaking wet, I quickly jumped up and said YES,” says Elizabeth. And it’s sweet that she never stopped smiling.
Here’s a video of the whole thing:
How hilarious is that? I’m sure they’ll never forget it:)
P.S. More cool proposal stories…

That’s soo funny! What a memorable proposal!
This is incredible! Haha So funny! I bet they were so excited the fall didn’t even hurt that badly ;)
Oh how adorable and fun(ny) too! Those rocks at Laguna are really jagged. I’m glad they didn’t get hurt.
hahahah!!! that’s funny!

Oh wow! hahaha imagine that timing! Made for such a moment :) It shows you can only go and plan it so far hahaha x
These are some of the moments in your life that will never return back…so just click it…
They’re VERY lucky to have not lost the ring! It ended perfectly. It turned out awesome.
“Never turn your back on the sea, it’s a living thing.” Grandpa’s favorite line. :-)
I don’t know…why was he looking over his shoulder before he pulled the ring out? It almost looked like he was waiting for the wave.
Good thing he didn’t drop the ring :)
HAHAHA thank goodness she said yes! That’s so sweet & hilarious!!! Probably means good luck for the future for this happy couple :)
hahaha she laughs and says “Salty!” at the end after they kiss. :)
Too funny! It actually made for a stunning photo though before the wave crashed down on them.

I was in Laguna last summer, and those waves were intense. We had to sit pretty far away from them to stay safe. The local surfers were warning the little ones away. Scary!
That’s incredible! Definitely an unforgettable moment!
Haha! Thats amazing!
This happened to us when we were taking our engagement photos!! We were devoured by a wave in La Jolla, California! We had a great laugh and the photos are so funny. It’s awesome that this was all captured so beautifully! Ha!
I am in medical school with Matt (we are in the same class) and it is so cool to see how viral this has gotten! Small world. Love your blog!
I was so worried about the ring, ha! Glad the ring – and them – survived. :D
my whole office is laughing at this now! At least they kept their sense of humor – and the ring!!!!
Great photos of the event!
hahah so cute!! and not to sound materialistic but glad the ring was safe!! that would have been a huge bummer not to mention expensive lol
xoxo,

Haha amazing! Good thing the wave didn’t carry the ring away!! X
I loved reading through your previous engagement posts too. Such cute stories! Can’t help getting a tear in my eye and a huge smile on my face. I love love.
haha!! that is too good!! good thing they were such good sports about it! they should get engagements done like this to keep up the wet theme…haha

Hilarious and awesome! Made for a great picture and a moment they can share with their kids. I’m sure it’ll come up again and again throughout their entire lives. Those are the best moments :)
Hilarious! But I do find it odd that he didn’t carry her out of the water or anything, like a gentleman. She looks sort of upset walking away, not even looking at him. He just proposed to you, woman! And it took them a very long time to embrace afterwards ;) Awkward.
I agree! It was SO awkward. Maybe he should’ve saved it for a calm day. :)
The photos are really cute but yeah, watching the video makes it look totally awkward and scary.
Very awkward video, super darling photos.
Oh my god! I can’t stop laughing. I’m hoping the ring wasn’t washed away…
Good thing he didn’t lose the ring!
i grew up (and surfed) on the oregon coast where a rogue wave like that could kill you. this just stresses me out too much to think it’s cool! as a photographer, i hate to see photos where the family/couple/baby is put in dangerous situations for “the shot”. i hope this was the groom’s idea and not the photographers… sorry to be such a downer, i usually hate when people are annoying safety monitors in blog comments, but i couldn’t help it with this one. :)
Yeah, I kinda have to agree on this one—to me this is a little scary. Stories have been appearing in the NorCal news over the past few months of people walking their dogs on beaches along the Humboldt coast and getting swept in by rogue waves…often, it seems, the dogs get swept away, the owners panic and go in after them, and end up perishing while the dogs are able to make it back to shore. You know what they say about never turning your back on the ocean.
Talk about getting swept off your feet…
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Lovely.. The pictures are amazing…
Oh, my! That is so cute! And definitely memorable.
oh my, I can’t stop smiling. How adorable! Mother Nature has perfect timing as always ;)
This is amazing!!! Definitely something to remember!!
I heard of a very similar story, except the man got washed out to sea and passed away. Very somber note to this happy story! glad they have their happy ending!!
Yes, my friend’s father died this way–being swept away by a large wave while standing on the beach. It’s very real.
Good thing he had a death grip on that ring box! Definitely a moment they won’t forget…
Haha – that’s what I was thinking! I bet he was FREAKING out about that ring. Haha.
Also, reminds me a little of my proposal. My husband proposed in the woods, and right after I said “yes”, the log I was standing on broke and I fell flat on my butt. Lol. I ended up wet and dirty but we laughed and laughed. :)
That. is. awesome. Baaahahahaa! Such a great story for their kids :D
It would have been tragic if the ring had been washed away, but it ended up just being really memorable, they will have a much cooler story to tell their grandkids;)
You should watch this one:
Omg that’s hilarious and totally memorable!! Aww I’m happy she said yes!!
Amazing. I love that there are as many different types of proposals as there are couples. L seems like this would not be for her, but for this couple it seemed just perfect. I think it’s a good sign for their marriage that they started the engagement journey giggling.

i would die if i was proposed to in public and then hit by a wave. my anxious bones couldn’t handle all the drama.
hahah! this is what i’d expect would happen!

Where did the guitar go? Poor guitar:(
Oh, that is so contrived. She was hardly surprised at the proposal given the fact he is in a suit and just about everyone has a camera on the beach. I think a private, intimate proposal is the best.
Oh, I disagree! I think it’s adorable. I think the “best” proposal is one in which both parties are overjoyed, and surely this fits the bill!
I agree. He’s in dress shoes basically in the tide pools. It seems awfully contrived to me, though I agree with KJ that to each their own. They’re lucky they didn’t get slashed up by the rocks!
I so agree! I would have killed my husband if he had done some grand gesture or even proposed in front of someone. He actually did it sitting in the McDonalds drive through. We were waiting to order and he looked over at me and asked. I said yes. It was very sweet. All I needed. We celebrated with fries. The marriage is what counts. The proposal is overblown.
What’s wrong with someone spending time planning their proposal? It’s thoughtful and sweet that this man spent time planning his proposal. The only thing I see wrong with this is how long it took her to embrace him after they are on the beach!
impossibly unforgettable and sweet. ♥
she sure did snap that ring box closed fast!
This is great!
OMG! Laughing out loud!
