You would have better luck making a TikTok explaining this and have it travel faster. I’m sure someone snapped a pic. 🤞🏼good luck & congrats!

Do it! Share your user name here.. a lot of people from NY will watch and TikTok will throw it into more of NYers algorithm. I’ve seen it done before!

Congrats on a huge day! Is that a normal reaction people have tho? I feel like I’m not going to pull out my phone and start recording or snapping pics of a stranger proposing. Seems like a pretty obnoxious thing to do. Ig my comment is pretty ironic since you’re looking for these people lol.

I saw one on the Brooklyn Bridge and I stopped to snap a bunch of photos. I hung around until the initial excitement died down and got an email to send them to so they could have something to look back on. They both seemed to appreciate the gesture.

Welcome to a big city. I bet majority if not all of the amateur photographers were tourists.

We got engaged on the christopher street pier. I had a photographer there for pictures after but there were a few strangers nearby watching it happen too. One couple was pretty close and filmed the actual proposal, they approached us after and sent it to us and I thought it was a nice and fun thing to do.

Yeah it is. Most people are tourists and photograph EVERYTHING. I got engaged downtown at a place special to my wife and I and had my friend take photos. There are people in the background with iPads taking photos

My husband and I were there! We weren’t that close by and only noticed when people started clapping so we don’t have any pics. But congrats!! And we also thought you look a like a more attractive James Murphy.

You should have hired a photographer. I've shot many surprise engagement proposals as a pro photographer. The look on her face at that moment is priceless.

Go to Instagram and search for locations tagged on the highline. You might find one on your own

A proposal should be a private moment.

Imagine gatekeeping someone else’s proposal

I'm hardly the first person to comment on the inappropriateness of public proposals. They are a private moment and they put the woman in an awkward position. They're tacky.

Imagine having no taste.
