On September 2, 2022, AJ and I had originally planned to dine out as an early birthday dinner. But my birthday wish this year was simpler - a ShopRite rotisserie chicken and a cozy night at home. So, that's exactly what we did, celebrating with our new puppy, Romeo. After dinner, AJ suggested going out for dessert and espresso martinis. Although I hesitated, secretly wanting to stay home with Romeo, I agreed. Little did I know, our night was about to take an unexpected turn. As we headed to Hoboken, AJ made a wrong turn, and that's when the surprises began. We found ourselves at FlyNyon, about to embark on a sunset helicopter ride. Holding my hand, AJ asked to talk privately, even as the pilot explained emergency procedures. He knelt down and asked the most important question of our lives – "Will you marry me?" I was taken by surprise and filled with excitement. Words couldn't capture the emotions I felt. Our helicopter ride offered breathtaking views of New York City, Ellis Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge. The adventure continued as we arrived at Pier 115 in Edgewater, where our family and friends waited for us. The night unfolded into a joyous celebration filled with laughter, toasts, and unforgettable memories. It was, without a doubt, the best night of our lives. As we look forward to our wedding day, AJ and I can hardly contain our excitement about saying "I do" in front of our loved ones. Mark your calendars for August 23, 2024, as we embark on the next chapter of our lives as husband and wife. We are grateful for your love, presence, and support as we start on this beautiful journey together.
