Eric proposed to Jessica at Grand Central Station in New York City, one of Jessica's favorite places. He had a photographer take their picture, and when Jessica wasn't looking, Eric got down on one knee and proposed. Jessica was surprised but said yes. The photographer who witnessed the proposal asked to take more photos of the couple to commemorate the engagement. Eric and Jessica will be featured in the local photography club's newsletter to share the story of their proposal at Grand Central Station.

1. Our Engagement! February 19, 2011

6. Eric: “So is that a yes?”

7. I hadn’t even tried the ring on yet…

8. Jessica: “Hmm, let me take a closer look at this thing…” Eric (to the photographer): “I told you I’d give you a cue”

9. He did a good job … a really, really good job …

10. At this point, the photographer asked if we could re-enact the proposal so he could take some better-resolution photos on his camera and email them to us… if you look really closely, I’m wearing the ring – I wasn’t about to take it off …

11. Eric asking the photographer if he could stand up yet …

12. One last kissy-face picture to seal the deal…

13. The photographer who took our picture was part of a photography club visiting Grand Central from New Jersey – I guess their club was all abuzz with the news of our engagement for the rest of the weekend, and they want to feature us in their monthly newsletter… so we’re going to be in the next edition of the Monmouth Camera Club Newsletter, which is a riot. And in response to everyone’s #1 question: No, we haven’t set a date yet – we’re letting the engagement sink in before we think about all that fun stuff. But obviously you will all be the first to know when we do. Oh, and for those of you who were unaware of our nerdiness … we hope you enjoyed the powerpoint presentation.  Love, Eric + Jess
