NYC Marriage Proposal – Michael and Caitlin’s Rooftop Engagement
With stunning views of the Manhattan skyline behind him, Michael knelt down on one knee and asked Caitlin for her hand in marriage, presenting her with a shining engagement ring from Kay’s Jewelers.
After nearly seven years together, Michael was ready to propose and wanted to make the moment perfect. And as the sun set out over the city, with sweeping views from the roof deck at Hotel East Houston—it was.
Every fairytale ending has a beginning, and for this happy couple, it was during the first week of class at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas back in 2006.
Caitlin and Michael had two classes together that fall. As she walked into the room, they locked eyes. He immediately noticed her stunning smile. She chose desks next to him in both classes and tried to strike up conversation. She was drawn in by his compassionate way with others and wanted to get to know him better, but Michael was quiet and didn’t chat very much, so after a few weeks, she changed seats.
That could have been the end of their story, but a year and a half later, in the spring of 2008, they reconnected. This time, the chemistry was undeniable, and they began the start of a beautiful relationship.
Over the years, Michael’s old injuries from football began to cause him pain. Caitlin willingly took care of him through it all, never leaving his side. That was when Michael knew she was The One.
And when Michael met Caitlin’s whole family and immediately fit in, she knew that he was the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
The couple loves traveling together, so Michael felt that a trip to New York City would provide the perfect opportunity to pop the question. He also knew that Caitlin loved the idea of a rooftop wedding, and decided that a skyline engagement setting would be a great start to their journey to the altar. He knew taking his small town girl to the big city to propose was going to be a memorable, cherished moment and hired Paparazzi Proposals to capture their proposal with surprise engagement photography.
