Deborah and Marty celebrated the New Year in Buzios, Brazil, with Deb’s family. Marty had been acting weird all day, and was overly excited about the New Year celebration to come that night. Unfortunately, Deborah’s father was not feeling well, so at 11:30 Deb and her sisters decided to take their parents some food in their hotel room.
The girls got back to the festivities at 11:55. When Deborah walked up, Marty was sweating profusely! Deborah asked Marty if everything was ok. He was glad she was back. At 11:59, Marty grabbed Deborah’s hand to watch the fireworks being released over the ocean barge. He turned to her and said “I don’t want to go another year without you being my wife.” He proceeded to get down on one knee and asked her to marry him. The fireworks started to go off and it began to rain! Deborah’s sister Barbie was there to document everything.
