Lisa & Eric
Saturday, October 6, 2007
We at LIWeddings are happy to announce the engagement of Lisa to Eric, welcome them to our family and wish them all the best.
Lias, a nurse and daughter to Lillian and Robert, and Eric, and HVC Tech and son to Maria and Jose, from Staten Island and The Bronx respectively were engaged on October 6, 2007 in Times Square.
'Eric and I have been together for five years. We first met when he was enlisted in the Coast Guard which was based in Staten Island, New York. He and his friends would go to the local bar weekly to just relax with his friends after work. That week, I so happened to meet him there for the very first time. He told me the first night that I met him that one day I was going to be his wife and we have been together ever since. I have just completed nursing school and that was my objective before getting engaged which was discussed with Eric when he would bring up the subject. I knew he was saving but I never thought in a million years that the proposal would come so soon. Sometimes, he swears I should of been a detective instead of a nurse because I find everything !! Nothing can ever get passed me without a thousand whys or when. Well it was October 6,2007. Erics birthday had just passed and we were going to the Manhattan to look for some things he had wanted for his birthday. He had mentioned to me that we had to go to Times Square to pick something up. Once again I had asked why and he said please for once stop asking why and go with the flow ! So I stood shut and didnt ask any other questions. We get out of the car in Times Square. Being in heels, Eric was walking 100 steps ahead of me. Thinking about it now, it was his nervousness not me in heels. He was just walking too fast. Well we come around the corner in front of Hard Rock Cafe and he says Lisa look up. I looked up and there was an electronic bored saying 'Will you marry me Lisa?'Once I looked up he got down on his knee, took out this beautiful diamond engagement ring and proposed. I was in such shock because this was out of the ordinary for him. He is more of a quiet person that would probably have taken me out to dinner. It was extremely thoughtful of him. To go out of his way the way he did and especially for me not to find out ! He had told me that the ring was hidden for a month and a half without me having any idea. I guess my detective skills havent been up to par !!
They look forward to an April 2009 celebration at Jericho Terrace.
We wish them all the best.
