    NESKOWIN, Ore. — A romantic marriage proposal on the Oregon coast turned deadly for the bride-to-be when a wave swept her out to sea.
    Police don't suspect foul play in the disappearances Saturday of Leafil Alforque, Tillamook County Sheriff Todd Anderson said. Thick fog and dangerous water conditions off Neskowin Beach hampered the rescue efforts, and the search was called off Monday.
    Scott Napper had a ring in his pocket and planned to pop the question to Alforque, 22, at Proposal Rock, which got its name from couples ready to marry.
    Napper said the tide had receded around the rock when the couple began to walk to it, but then a wave around 3 feet high suddenly came in.
    "I turned into it to keep from getting pulled under it," Napper said. By the time he turned to find Alforque, who was only 4-foot-11, she had been caught by the receding waters.
    "She was about 30 feet away, getting swept away," Napper said.

    Oh I saw this today and just prayed for that poor man's heart to find some way to heal from this terrible tragedy....if it's even possible as awful as it must have been and is for him now.
