A young man from Michigan had just asked his girlfriend's family for permission to marry her when he was swept away by a giant wave in the Bahamas.

Athena Williams, 20, met Jonathan Brussow, 19, at a bonfire during the summer after eighth grade in the Rockford area, outside Grand Rapids.

When ninth grade started, they rode the same school bus. Williams says one morning, Brussow sat in the seat next to her and from there, it was young love.

Brussow had been with Williams and her family on vacation to the Bahamas.

Williams says the night before Brussow went missing, he sat down with her family after she went to bed to ask them a question that would change their lives.

He wanted their permission to marry her.
