Our Story

Karley and Joe met in July of 2014. Karley had just moved to Queens from Upstate, New York and they both attended a mutual friend's birthday party (shout-out to Jess!) at a club in Manhattan. They had an instant connection and spent the night dancing and talking until early the next morning. The following weekend, Joe took Karley on their first of many dates. Fast-forward more than two years later. Joe told Karley they were going out for Sunday brunch at a new spot he found in DUMBO. It was a beautiful, sunny day in November. As they stepped out of the cab and walked through the Brooklyn Bridge Park, Karley jokingly said, "Let's just go to Shake Shack instead!" Joe just smiled and grabbed her hand. She had no idea what was about to happen! They kept walking and soon approached a beautiful garden in front of The River Cafe. The garden area was empty except for a a photographer who Karley assumed was taking pictures of the flowers and city view. Not a minute later, she spotted an empty bench with a giant bouquet of flowers. They walked closer and she saw a little white card resting next to the bouquet with her name written on the front of it. She turned to find Joe on his knee! It turned out that Joe had hired the photographer to capture the whole proposal and they even had a mini photo shoot afterward. They celebrated with a delicious champagne and lobster lunch with a stunning view of Manhattan from their table along the waterfront.
