The BBC finds not all marriage proposals require coast guard assistance (excerpt):
Two lovers were rescued as they drifted out to sea following a romantic marriage proposal in a dinghy.

Colin Howell, 35, enjoyed a champagne picnic with his girlfriend, Miriam Light, 26, before setting out from Cromer in Norfolk to pop the question.

The alarm was raised on Friday night after onlookers from Cromer Pier saw the boat more than a mile from the beach in windy conditions.
