Lots of wedding proposals happen in New York City. It's the city that never sleeps, the city booming with possibilities, and filled with passion. So it's not unusual to see someone on one need asking to if their partner will spend the rest of their life with them. No matter how cold hearted you are or how many proposals you've witnessed, it's still a joyous thing to encounter, especially when the person being proposed to says yes. 

Five girls picnicking in NYC recently got to witness a stranger's wedding proposal and their commentary made it even more emotional. They started with just seeing the set up. It appeared to be a nice little table with candles and a sign that read, “Will you marry me?” There was also a photographer and violist standing by. Then after two hours, the people started to leave and nothing was happening. They though maybe something went wrong, maybe the girl didn't show up! They were panicked, they were rooting for a happy “yes!” from the incoming couple. 

All of a sudden the couple emerge from down the path. They were dressed up and had a couple other photographers following them, so the girls guessed that the guy probably told her they were doing a photoshoot, but the proposal was to be a surprise. As the couple started walking up to the set up, the woman of the couple started to register what was happening. A hand went up to her a mouth in shock and tears of joy seemed to be flowing. This made the girls recording from the sidelines also start to tear up and cheer her on.

She gave him a big romantic kiss and they stood up. The girls recording were whooping and cheering in excitement, celebrating the happiness of a total stranger. It was a beautiful candid moment capture and shows how humanity doesn't have to be all that bad.
