The proposal

On Saturday, August 6th, 2022 Felipe Baza got down on one knee and asked Emily Smith to spend the rest of her life with him.

They were in New York City getting ready to celebrate an anniversary. Felipe had let it slip that he had made a reservation to a restaurant Emily had been dying to try, Jean Georges. Emily was happy that he told her because she knew to wear something fancy enough for the restaurant. Not that it’s a big ask for Emily to get dressed up!

He told her that he wanted to meet his friend Sean at the New York Athletic Club for some drinks and to catch up. Felipe suggested Emily spend some time with her best friend Natalia to get ready and have some wine on the rooftop of their apartment building. Little did Emily know, Natalia and Felipe had been in cahoots planning a surprise.

After a drink at the club with their friends, it was time to head to the restaurant. Felipe wanted to walk through Central Park to get to the restaurant, which made no sense since the restaurant was right across the street. Emily didn’t notice and agreed that it would be nice to take a stroll before dinner. She was a bit confused as to why Felipe called an Uber to the park, but didn’t think anything of it.

Once they arrived at Central Park, Felipe took Emily’s hand and began leading her to a path. She saw a beautiful gazebo with lights and asked Felipe what that was, thinking the restaurant had been a ruse and they would be having dinner in a gazebo! (Felipe is romantic like that). They arrived at the gazebo and Emily saw flowers everywhere! As she realized what was happening, music began to play: the instrumental version of “Dos Oruguitas”, their song.

Felipe guided Emily around the beautiful arch of flowers where she saw the sign… “Will You Marry Me?” He went down on one knee, took out the ring and proposed. Emily screamed, “of course”! The photographer and videographer that Felipe hired captured the entire event which Felipe and Emily want to share with you.
