I Got Engaged in NYC

Check out all our photos from NYC here

The Story

Last Thursday, I flew up to NYC (unbeknownst to Rachel).   The following morning, Rach arrived to meet with clients for an interior design project, or so she thought…

Her office txted her, said the lunch meeting was running late and her boss was milling around in Central Park.  She was to meet him at the Central Park Mall and from there they would walk to the appointment.

Surprise, surprise – no boss, just me with ring in hand.

Big, big thanks to Lindsay from Rach’s office as my planning partner in crime, Eric & Elisha Krauss for being my incognito photography team, and Ryan Swinford for providing me with an affordable crash pad.  I would not have been able to pull this off without your help.
