Judy shared with us this great engagement story and we think you’ll like it too!

“My fiance and I met in the New York City Police academy. Upon graduating from the academy, we were fatefully placed in neighboring precincts — with the same days off ! If it weren’t for that, we would have never gone on our first date.

After hanging out a few times and after some long phone calls, flowers, and non-stop texting we went on our first BIG date. We went to Carnegie Hall for a piano performance and then proceeded to Central Park with hot chocolate and giant cookies for a carriage ride. What a beautiful time!

Four years later, after we relocated to Maryland to take Police Officer jobs with Capitol Police, we made our way back to NYC to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

He wanted to go out to dinner Friday night, the 13th, to beat the crowds..(13 does happen to be my lucky number) so it was fine by me. We checked into Park Central hotel, walked to dinner at the Rock Center cafe on the ice of Rockefeller Plaza. Then we walked to Central Park and took a carriage ride. He had planned to propose at the certain spot of the ride where the city comes into view perfectly and he had even researched this on the internet before-hand! (Haha!)

When the city came into view, I jumped over to the other bench to get a good picture, Oops. He told me to get back over here. So I went over to show him the picture, and he said, “I love you so much..I have something for you.” He took out a wooden box and opened it and said “Will you marry me?” My jaw dropped, I think I said “Oh my God,” and started crying and hugging and kissing him, but forgot to tell him yes! He asked me if that was a yes, and I laughed and said “YES!”  We had to extend the carriage ride so we could eat up the moment for as long as possible.

NYC is where we met, our little spot, and it was completely perfect for him to take me back there for the proposal! Our dreams and fate brought us together and our Love and friendship will keep us together forever!”
