Tampa Bay Rays pitcher proposes to girlfriend at Discovery Cove

This past weekend, Tampa Bay Rays’ pitcher Alex Cobb delivered the pitch of a lifetime at Discovery Cove in Orlando.

Immersed in a tropical oasis, Cobb popped the question to his girlfriend, Kelly Reynolds, with the help of an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin carrying a buoy that read, “Kelly, will you marry me?”

In their own private cabana, Reynolds accepted Cobb’s marriage proposal, then celebrated with family and friends while discovering up-close animal encounters throughout the day.

Discovery Cove, located in the heart of Orlando, is an all-inclusive adventure where you can enjoy a one-of-a-kind opportunity to swim with dolphins, rays and tropical fish and hand-feed exotic birds.

Discovery Cove was ranked #1 in the 2013 TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice Awards under “Top 25 Amusement Parks & Water Parks in The World” category.
