We're Getting Married!

We met the old-fashioned way, as most modern-day couples do: on Hinge! Carl slid into Brooke's DMs with a bold and professional ask - he needed a new accountant. Brooke, being her witty self, replied with something hilarious, and a few days later, they met at Our Mutual Friend brewery. They drank, they talked, they closed the place down. And spoiler alert: they haven’t stopped talking since – probably because Carl is still trying to balance his books.

The day started at the Tsukiji Fish Market—because nothing says romance like raw tuna at 10 a.m. I had the ring box in my bag, and like an absolute professional, I accidentally pulled it out in the middle of the market. She saw it. I panicked. I think I said something like, “Oh that? That’s just... my fish box.” After exploring the market, we left and I told her we had tickets to Tokyo Tower. That was a lie. We never had tickets. Tokyo Tower was a decoy. On the way, we stopped at a park full of cherry blossoms—because I figured, “If she’s gonna say no, at least it’ll be scenic.” I got down on one knee, and a guy I hired from a company called "Proposal Ninja"—which is exactly what it sounds like—was laying prone 40 yards across the lake and captured the photos from the day.
