While picnicking with friends in the park yesterday, 6 little planes appeared above Central Park's Sheep Meadow and began puffing perfect rows of white fluff across the blue sky. Everyone who came to share a summer Sunday in the park took out their headphones, stopped tossing Frisbees, and looked up from their books and card games to watch as a perfect analog font spelled out "Christine...". As soon as "Will U Marry Me" was completed, everyone erupted in cheers!
It was such a romantic, grand gesture and it took my breath away. It was a perfect day and a perfect proposal—we hope Christine said "Yes!"
