December 30, 2009

 This is right after he asked me!  You can't really see my ring, but you can see the big smiles on our faces!
I didn't get a picture of the actual carriage we were on, but this one is very similar!


Two years ago today, Jeff asked me to MARRY him in the most romantic way possible.  I was visiting him in New Jersey (and meeting his family) and on my second day there we decided to go into the city, aka New York City.  His parents and the two of us went into the city in the early afternoon.  Jeff was very adamant that the first thing we do there is go see Central Park.  That was fine with me because the last time I was in NYC we didn't really get to see the park.  We parked and went straight to Central Park.  As we got there Jeff suggested we go on a carriage ride.  That sounded nice to me, romantic and an ideal NYC thing to do.  We got on a carriage and he was acting kinda weird.  He started video taping the ride... not something he normally does.  He handed me the camera, reached in his pocket and pulled out a box.  Then he asked me to marry him.  It was a perfect moment:  lightly snowing, horse carriage ride in Central Park.  I of course said yes!  And here we are!
