Wardrobe Diaries:: Perfect Proposal

{chinae alexander}

My weekend started off with the most amazing day trip. Friday early afternoon I met a group of my friends at Grand Central Station to head up to Cold Spring, NY. If you haven't been, you must! It's a little over an hour train ride up the Hudson and drops you off right in the heartbeat of the town. It's home to quaint antique shops, delicious restaurants, and beautiful scenery. My friends and I love to escape the city for a quick trip whenever possible but this trip was for a stealth mission. My friend Eric whisked his girlfriend Amy away Thursday night to Cold Spring for the perfect surprise proposal. We sent a fake email out earlier in the week for a BBQ in Prospect Park to throw off the mission. Amy was under the impression that she would be surprising us with the engagement at the BBQ, but we snuck around Cold Spring getting food and champagne for a picnic on the river. We set everything up on blankets and crouched down by a wall to surprise Amy as her and Eric took a walk before "boarding the train."

!!!SURPRISE!!!

Clearly she was surprised and so excited to see us there! We spent the rest of the day lounging in the sun's rays, eating, sipping mimosas, and ended the night with a beautiful dinner on a patio overlooking the river. It was such a special moment to be a part of. I couldn't imagine two people more perfect for each other. I'm so excited for their lives to be joined!
