Our Christmas season tradition every year since we started dating is to have a special dinner at one of our favorite italian restaurants on the Upper East Side called Campagnola. Keeping up with our tradition, on the evening of 12/20/19 we went to Campagnola for dinner and enjoyed a delicious 3 course meal accompanied by live piano, christmas decor and candle light. After dinner, Justin suggested we take a walk to Carl Schurz Park to look at the water. Carl Schurz Park is extra special to us because it is where we shared our first kiss and have frequented often since we both lived on the Upper East Side. I knew something was up when Justin suggested this walk because it was very late and also freezing out. As we walked through the empty park, Justin led us to the special spot where we shared that first kiss over looking the East River. After gazing at the water I turned around and saw him down on one knee with the ring in his hand. I immediately burst into tears and said yes! Justin's sister Corryn and her boyfriend Bradley popped out of the bushes behind us and captured the entire proposal on camera. It was such a special night. The next day Justin surprised me by planning a dinner with both of our families. It was a weekend we both will never forget!
