Brides on the Balcony - Cheril & Monica

We got engaged on May 14, 2005 at Stonewall Restaurant in the Village of NYC. To Monica, it was just another get together with friends, but Cheril had long since planned the night. Enlisting the help of friends, Nando, Joe, Byron and Scotch Cheril managed to almost have the perfect proposal.

Cheril: I had all of this romantic, poetic stuff to say and forgot every single word when it was 'time.' I did, however, have a greeting card with personal "welcome to the family" messages from my siblings as well as a cake from Monica's favorite hard-to-get-to-on-public-transportation-bakery and of course the ring.

Monica: I was very surprised. I would have never thought Cheril would have proposed to me in that way, on that night...or that she would even have it in her to call my step-father and actually ask for my hand, but she did. :)

Cheril: I was in love, and truth be told, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Monica after the first six months of dating. That is when I found myself in the diamond district looking for rings and picking one out. To be sure I wasn't rushing though, I waited another year before popping the question.
