\n They found love in the muck.<\/p>\n

Despite its notorious reputation for being a polluted pool of stagnant filth, the Gowanus Canal was recently the site of a marriage proposal \u2014 and she said yes.<\/p>\n

Gowanus residents Emma Borochoff, 30, and Jamison Pence, 32, have been dating for three-and-a-half years, lived in the neighborhood for two, and frequently go on walks over the Superfund-designated waterway\u2019s bridges, a pleasure they\u2019ve been enjoying even more frequently in quarantine. Inspired by their jaunts, and wanting to have his friends present in a COVID-safe way during the big moment, Pence had the idea to get down and dirty with his proposal on the canal itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast summer, we did a canal crawl, and that\u2019s what prompted the engagement \u2014 we wanted to do another canal crawl this year, but because of the pandemic, we made it a small crawl,\u201d Pence, a sales manager, told The Post. On the August afternoon the couple was slated to go bar-hopping along the canal on foot with their buddies, he told Borochoff at the last minute that he\u2019d scheduled a canoe ride first.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018Oh, great! But we\u2019re going to be late,\u2019\u2009\u201d said Borochoff, who is also in marketing. (The couple began as an office romance.) \u201cI had no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pence borrowed a canoe from the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club and waited until they had paddled to the Carroll Street Bridge, where their friends suddenly app<\/a>eared.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone came out of nowhere on the bridge, and I just thought they were superpumped we were canoeing,\u201d said Borochoff. \u201cThen they were all yelling for me to turn around.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the hard part was reaching for the ring,\u201d said Pence of his experience climbing towards Borochoff\u2019s end of the canoe. \u201cAnd making sure I held onto that with a death grip while still moseying my way to the front.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inspired by the proposal, the partners in slime plan to have a camp-themed wedding in their native Maryland, with canoeing for sure on the itinerary.<\/p>\n

The couple are currently in Aruba, on an \u201cengagementmoon\u201d they had planned well before the proposal. Despite the country\u2019s crystal-clear Caribbean waters, though, they still yearn for the iridescent waters of their engagement site.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have that nice rainbow sheen the Gowanus has,\u201d said Borochoff.<\/p>\n
