NYC Marriage Proposal Successful!!

[lemonice1]

She said YES!!!  I wanted to thank all of you for your thoughtful responses.  We went to Firebird for dinner (amazing decor) and afterwards went upstairs to the parlor bar. I got down on one knee, popped the question and she said "OH MY GOD" (over and over and over), then she said YES!!! And we lived happily ever after (it's been a week now).  Thanks again for your help.

Mazal Tov!

How was the food?

[Jason Perlow]

Awesome! Did you try the home made honey vodka? I've tried to get their recipe, but it is very elusive.

The food was excellent.  We tried the honey vodka (great), and we had the duck which was great as well.

congratulations and best wishes!

What kind of a reaction did you get from others in the bar when you proposed? Sustained applause? Rounds of drinks sent over?

How WONDERFUL! And thank you for sharing this occasion with us. Was anyone filming this or taking pictures? Now--can we help you with the wedding plans? ;)

When I first read the thread title, I was going to say, let us know if you still feel the proposal was successful in thirty years. ;)

Seriously, let me offer my congratulations.

Congratulations! I'm glad it worked out.

Hi everyone! I'm the girl who said YES!! in New York.  I just wanted to say that every thing was perfect.  Just like a fairytale! The food was fabulous and the proposal was incredibly romantic.  The truth is that for who ever said that " once she sees the ring she won't care where she is" you are partly right.  However, it wasn't the ring, it was the man who was holding the ring.  It wouldn't have mattered if I was in front of the Gray's Papaya hot dog stand, it still would have been perfect because he is the perfect man for me.  I also have no doubt that in 30 years from now I will be even more in love with this man than what I am today.  I love you Brandon

Now that's what I call followup. You know, we're always telling people, "Let us know how it goes." But this is one better. We now have reports from all key people involved in the incident. This is the way it should be. Of course, it would have been more fun if the female in question said something like, "I'm only marrying him for his money," but true love will have to suffice for the time being.
