Hi everyone. Some news... my boyfriend of 5 years, Jerry, proposed to me last Friday night on our 5th Year Anniversary! It was an amazing and unique proposal, so I'd like to share the story with all of you. It's also available here. :)

I’m sitting here at Starbucks staring out the window at the foot traffic outside. It’s 5:15PM on Friday, June 22nd. It’s my boyfriend Jerry and I's fifth year anniversary today and he’s late. He told me we had dinner reservations for 5, and he won’t tell me the place. He told me to wait on the corner of 3rd Ave and 67th Street, by the Caché. I’m staring out the window and wondering where in the world he is, when my iPhone buzzes.
It’s a text from Jerry and it’s a cryptic, exciting thing. “I’m in the city,” he writes. “But you have to find me! You’re going to get clues on Instagram. Your name is Marie Antoinette. Your first clue is up. Happy hunting!”And so begins the most amazing, exciting, and rewarding scavenger hunt of my life, trailing me across Manhattan’s upper east side, and eventually leading my to the love of my life.
My first Instagram clue is pretty straightforward. A picture of a Caché tag against a gorgeous fabric! I read the caption on Instagram and I cannot believe my eyes - it reads just like a post on Gossip Girl!
I cannot even… Jerry has tapped into my Gossip Girl fan girl side. It’s amazing. Phenomenal. Has he been listening to me ramble on this whole time? I run into Caché, and my adventure begins!
