Epic Myrtle Beach SkyWheel Proposal: Beach Luminaries Spell 'Will You Marry Me?'

Proposing to your loved one can take many unique forms—but the Myrtle Beach way elevates romance to spectacular heights.

Aaron, a recent visitor to the Grand Strand, rallied his family and friends for the ultimate surprise proposal to his girlfriend, Ashley, aboard the iconic Myrtle Beach SkyWheel.

While Ashley and her friends savored panoramic views of the Myrtle Beach skyline and Atlantic Ocean from the SkyWheel, Aaron's group arranged luminaries on the beach below, brilliantly spelling out "Will You Marry Me, Ashley?"

As the ride concluded, Ashley made her way to the beach, where supporters presented flowers amid eager anticipation and joyful tears.

Waiting at the end was Aaron, who momentarily fumbled for the ring before kneeling to ask the big question. Ashley's tearful "Yes!" ignited cheers and festivities.

This touching moment was filmed and shared on YouTube on March 24, 2014, amassing over 6,500 views by March 27 and poised to go viral.

Congratulations, Aaron and Ashley!

  • The Power of Wilderness: Ande’s Inuit Totem Craft and Greenland Survival

    The lines on Ande’s face darken to his intricate task of carving reindeer bone into Tupilaks, the totems of his Inuit ancestors. The quiet air of this craftsman is later shattered by a story I’m told by Matt Spenceley – mountain guide and adopted son of the East Greenland village of Kulusuk. ‘When he was younger Ande was sailing south, alone,’ Matt tells me, ‘when his boat sank. The water was 2˚C, but he swam 200m in full clothing to an iceberg, and just sat on it until another boat came by.
