Woman swept to death at Proposal Rock

• Couple at romantic spot
• Boyfriend about to propose
• Woman swept away by a wave

A BRIDE-to-be was swept away by a wave before her boyfriend got the chance to ask her to marry him at a landmark called Proposal Rock.

Scott Napper had taken his Filipina girlfriend Leafil Alforque, 22, to Proposal Rock near Neskowin Beach in Oregon to pop the question last Saturday.

The couple had been dating since they met on the internet in 2005 and Ms Alforque had arrived in the US only three days before, The Oregonian newspaper reported.

Mr Napper said the tide was out around Proposal Rock, which got its name from the number of couples who visited it to get hitched.

He had planned to propose and had the ring in his pocket.

But as the couple walked to the rock, a 3m wave swept towards them.

"I turned into it to keep from getting pulled under it,'' said Mr Napper, 45.

By the time he turned around, Ms Alforque was already being carried out to sea.

"She was about 30 feet (9m) away, getting swept away,'' he said

That has gotta suck.
