Boston Aquarium Helps Hoboken Couple Get Engaged

One special proposal by a Hobokenite to his fiance.

Leave it to a Hobokenite to propose with the fishes. 

Brian Bradley, 30, surprised 29-year-old girlfriend Courtney Gambardella with a very special proposal on their trip to Boston this weekend. 

Bradley and Gambardella, who have been together for a year and a half, were walking through the aquarium and stopped at window 15 of the Giant Ocean Tank, looking at the fish. While Gambardella was ready to move on, Bradley wanted to linger.

When a diver appeared at the window, Gambardella still had no idea. Then, the diver swam to the window and held up a sign that read: "Courtney will you marry me?"

When she turned around to face her fiance, he was on one knee, holding a tiny box with a diamond ring.
