James Walsh had been planning a proposal for his girlfriend, Paige Cook. He wanted to do it somewhere a little different. Eventually, he settled on something far less ordinary: a tank full of sharks.
According to People, Walsh proposed to Cook inside the shark tank at Skegness Aquarium in Lincolnshire, England, on September 10. The couple wore wetsuits and full scuba gear for a swimming-with-sharks experience. Walsh had bought that experience for Cook as a Christmas gift. There was also a personal reason behind the choice. Sharks are Cook’s favorite animal.
