We love any excuse to celebrate! So when Drew suggested a fancy date night to go see The Nutcracker at The New York City Ballet, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. A faux anniversary would normally include dinner, drinks, and Ariel patting down Drew for a ring box. The day started off lovely. Some salon time for Ariel, some Rocket League for Drew, and some bird watching for kitty cat Caesar. That evening, after getting fancy'd up, the lovely couple hopped off to The Smith for a nice dinner across from Lincoln Center. Drew barely had an appetite because he had BIG PLANS, but played it off so cool, blaming it on the early pre-show timing. All through the first act, Ariel was convinced this was the date. This was finally the one where he does it. He's gonna pop the question. You know - THE question. Then finally, at intermission, Drew turned to Ariel and said... "Wow I'm surprised that for such a fancy date you haven't patted me down yet"... He's not gonna do it. Second act was great. After curtain call, Drew stopped into the bathroom to make an adjustment - to move the engagement ring he definitely had in a ziploc bag in his sock, to his jacket pocket. Also splashed some water for good measure. It worked in movies. The engaged people-to-be walked out into Lincoln Center Plaza, where a "disguised" Lili was "blending" in with a camera. Drew guided Ariel to the spot he had been dreaming of proposing for at least an hour. Then, noticing Lili hadn't seen them, he ever so cooly guided her to the other side of the fountain. The square looked better from that side any way or something like that (Drew blacked out here). It was at this moment when Ariel finally regained hope. Drew turned to face her and told her he loved her more than anything and wanted to take care of her the rest of her life. There might have been more (Ariel blacked out here). Then he kneeled down right into a puddle and POPPED THAT QUESTION BABY!
