‘I’m gonna throw up’

The ‘Today’ show took over Instagram to share Melvin’s proposal story as the caption read, “Awww, we get it, though! 🚤 😂 @craigmelvinnbc shares the story on TODAY of how he proposed to his wife, @lindsaycz, on a boat in Miami! 🧡” Melvin sat back on the couch as he talked about his story, “Well, we were on a boat off the coast of Miami. I got down on one knee. I scripted the whole thing in my head. I popped the question. And then Lindsay’s response was, “I think I’m gonna throw up.”” His co-hosts couldn’t help but laugh as they chalked her response up to motion sickness or overwhelmed excitement.

Melvin simply shrugged and repeated, “She just said I’m going to throw up, and I waited for a few seconds because I was like…yes? Yes? And she eventually said yes, obviously.” Melvin also clarifies that Czarniak did not end up throwing up during or after the proposal. The couple have been married since and continue going strong even today.
