Carissa and Francesco at The Empire State Building
October 22, 2005

Sometimes we just get lucky with strangers. Carissa and Francesco are from Toronto. (Almost sounds like a song lyric, doesn't it?) I was watching Francesco perform a tonsillectomy on her for about ten minutes before Bruce came in to head down. He decided to find out what was going on and went out to speak to them.

It seems that Francesco brought her all the way up here to propose marriage. They have been dating for seven years or so and she was pretty surprised. We hope they got a room since they steamed up the viewing window glass with her acceptance.

This is what I was watching from the warmth of the observation deck.

Bruce interrupts them after about three minutes of heavy breathing.

He asks them to smile for my camera and they do.

Carissa shows off her new ring.

I get to take the first official engagement photo.

This must be the view that made her say yes.
 
Or this is it.
