Kevin & I met in June 2007 through some mutual friends. The day we met, I was at Applebee's with a bunch of friends [whom we both do not speak to anymore ;p] and he came and sat at the table and it was one of those moments where you catch yourself staring at someone. So we didn't really talk at first, then my old friend had called him one day and we jokingly exchanged AIM screen names. So now we had direct connection to each other ! A few weeks later it was July 4, and Kevin had invited me out to his sister's house to hang out with his family. We watched fireworks and threatened to throw each other into a pool. Three days later, we started dating. ...Fast forward 5 years from that day... It was our 5th anniversary together and it was also Kevin's god daughters first birthday. So the plan was to go to her birthday party then go out to dinner. We stood all day at the birthday party then at around 9PM, we go out to dinner. We go to one of our favorite spots in Park Slope. I order my food and Kevin orders his. When the food comes out he barely eats anything. So I repeatedly ask him "are you okay??" and of course he keeps telling me hes fine. So after dinner I asked if we could go to get some ice cream and as we were driving there, Kevin made a wrong turn and then asked if I wanted to go to the old school ice cream place down by the Brooklyn Bridge. Sure why not?! So we find parking and walk down to the Brooklyn Bridge and it looks absolutely beautiful. So we go into the ice cream place and Kevin told me he didn't want anything, soooo, I got a milkshake. We leave and walk onto the pier and we start talking and thinking back to when we came there for the first time 5 years earlier for my birthday. it was a really cute moment. I'm totally into my milkshake and just yapping away and staring at the NYC skyline. So it got quiet and Kev turned to me and told me how much he loved me and BAM, he pulled out a shiny rock and popped the question. I was so stunned the only thing I said, better yet, asked, was for him to go down on one knee and ask me, hahaha. So he did and I jumped up and laughed and hugged and said yes. This was a totally unplanned, spontaneous place for Kevin to propose. It just made it so much more special.
