It happened some time around 3:30 on Saturday… I proposed to The Lady Sparkler while we were in New York City for a long weekend. The proposal itself took place in a part of Central Park overlooking the lake called the Ramble (see map).
For the record, she did say yes… and part of the following day was spent purchasing a bridal planning book from Barnes and Noble, which I took to be a good, reinforcing sign.
We are open to bets on when the wedding will be, and if the pool gets large enough, we promise to throw the pool and split the proceeds with the “winner.” Even money says that it won’t be in ANY spring (too miserably busy each and every year), so the smart gambler would be picking D.C. weekends in the autumn of 2007.
Pictures coming soon from the trip to NYC, and maybe even the ring if we can find a way of doing it without looking completely superficial / gauche.

No donation to TNC? Some of the pool should go to this really cool conservation organization you may have heard of
Just put a picture of the ring up already and don’t worry about whether it’s “tacky” or not! Some of us are stuck in central Africa and only get to look at diamonds in the rough as they’re being smuggled out of the country…
Seriously, best wishes, y’all! And I’ll start the pool here – I’ve got October 6, 2007.
So cute! Love the website and can’t wait for October 6th.
