A Turkish couple went to a seaside cliff to celebrate their engagement only for the bride-to-be to fall to her death moments after the proposal.
"We chose it to have a romantic memory after the proposal. We drank some alcohol. Everything happened at once. She lost her balance and fell down," Nizamettin Gursu, the would-be groom, told local news outlets.
Yesim Demir, 39, fell over the edge of the 100-foot-cliff at Polente Cape pin Canakkale in northwestern Turkey, where the couple had hoped to watch the sunset on July 6. Gursu returned to their car to get their picnic meal, but he heard a scream and ran back to find his fiancee at the foot of the cliff.
