Happy New Year

The Date January 1, 2005

The Place Public Pavilion at Trump Tower

The Setup  

Being big fans of "The Apprentice" Eddie convinced Angela to take a bus ride with him to Manhattan on New Years Day. He was hoping to surprise her over an early dinner at the restaurant there the surprise was on him... the restaurant was closed. Plan B - grab a Starbucks coffee and sit in the pavilion. While Angela was busy putting stuff from old purse into her newly purchased Louis Vitton knockoff, Eddie began to propose: "When something special happens to a person, it should be memorable. I wanted to bring you to a place that you will remember when I ask you to marry me." He then nervously handed Angela a small black box that she opened with shaking hands.

The Ring

With her hand over her mouth and tears in her eyes, all Angela could say was "Oh my God, Oh my God." It was later on that night that Angela asked Eddie if she ever did actually answer him.

Of course, her answer is "YES!"
