Man Proposes at Aquarium


A Mass­a­chu­setts man brought his girl­friend to the New Eng­land Aquar­ium in Boston, where he arranged for divers in a fish tank to hold a sign propos­ing mar­riage. “Will you marry me, Katie?” the sign read. Groom-to-be Peter Gal­lagher, 29, brought his girl­friend Katie Ellis, 28, to the aquar­ium Sat­ur­day after­noon for the pre­arranged event. “I’ve been ner­vous for the past week. Very ner­vous,” said Gal­lagher, who is a mid­dle school teacher in Lakeville. “But I wouldn’t have done this if I was afraid she’d say no.” Ellis, a fel­low teacher, said yes. The cou­ple have only been dat­ing since Decem­ber, but have known each other since they were teenagers, Gal­lagher said.
