Chilean Miner Proposed From 2300 Feet Underground After 25 Years And Two Grandkids

Esteban Rojas, 44, one of the Chilean miners trapped underground at 2300 feet, sent a letter to his "girl", Jessica Ganiez, 43 saying, “When I get out, let’s buy the dress and we’ll get married.” Rojas and Ganiez have been have been together for 25 years, raised three children and are now grandparents twice over. Nothing like getting trapped in a mine to give a guy some perspective.

That's Jessica holding the letter from Esteban. She said yes, but she kind of looks like, "Miner, please." The couple are legally married, but they never had a church wedding. Which, in Latin America, would be kind of a big deal. They might have to wait until December to go through with it. Experts predict the rescue could take up to four months.
