This past Saturday Kara and I took a trip from Princeton, NJ where she is studying New Testament at Princeton to New York City. While in the city we went to the Empire State Building. After waiting an hour in line to get to the top we finally emerged 86 stories above Manhattan, all of New York City laid out before us.
I quickly spotted our friend, Andrew Zirschky, who I had hide in the crowd to film the unfolding event. As soon as I knew Andrew was filming us I let Kara step up to the front row to look out over Manhattan. While she was in front of me I stashed my own camera, got the ring out and dropped to a knee. She was still enjoying the view so I tugged on her coat to get her attention. She turned around and the rest is history. We’re engaged! She “counter-proposed” and gave me an engagement ring too, marking me as “spoken for” as well, which I’m a big fan of. What a great day! I love this girl so much.
Congrats! I love you guys!
Whoa dude that’s so awesome! I’m so happy for you two! I’ve been wondering when this post would show up
Totally sweet!
peace,
Eric
Well, remember when you said that I could have your IPOD when you got engaged. Well, I’ll take it anytime. : )

Some numbers…
2: The number of people I am happy for today.
1,000,000 (estimate): number of movies where people propose on top of the Empire State Building
1: Number of guys I know who have actually proposed on top of the Empire State Building.
10: Rating on a scale of 10 how cool that is.
8: Number of months, roughly, till I am consenting (in person) to you two getting your matrimonial biz-ness on.
4: Number of wins for the Chargers AND Broncos–good news for both you and I.
The End.
Should I do a Mastercard “Priceless” version of this comment too?
I’m a little choked up…congrats.
Maybe as a wedding present I’ll give you the opportunity for revenge and let you break my phone.
Peace,
Wil
