Who doesn't love a super romantic proposal?

In the heart of Central Park, amidst New York City's vibrant spring buzz, Aarjav pulled off a proposal that redefined romantic gestures. It's a classic Delhi boy meets Bombay girl love story, but set against the dazzling backdrop of NYC. Central Park, the ultimate spot for fairy-tale moments, became the stage for Aarjav’s epic proposal. On a warm spring evening, Palak was surprised with a stunning outfit, flowers, and a note that kicked off a whirlwind of emotions. With a Taylor Swift soundtrack setting the mood and friends flown in from all corners, she was led through the park to the picturesque Wagner Cove. There, amidst flowers, candles, and Aarjav’s perfect setup, the proposal was pure magic—leaving Palak with no choice but to say a heartfelt “yes”. Scroll away and take a look at this proposal that's straight out of a rom-com.

"Ours is a classic boy-meets-girl love story — except it's a Delhi boy who met a Bombay girl in New York City. And the rest was a fairytale.
In books, movies and TV shows, this city has long been a backdrop for the greatest love stories. There's something entirely too special about falling in love in New York. It's been such an integral part of our story making it only fitting that Aarjav chose the heart of Central Park for a proposal that would put every romcom to shame.
On a warm spring evening, I came home to a beautiful outfit and flowers laid out on my bed with a note asking me to get dressed because a car would pick me up in 30 minutes. I got ready with trembling hands, equal parts nervousness and hope.
I was brought to Central Park where, in a move Carrie Bradshaw would approve of, I stepped into a buggy wearing my cobalt blue Manolo Blahnik Hangisi pumps to go to drive to the final spot. Taylor Swift played as I walked down a trail greeted by our friends (so many of whom had flown in for the occasion!) each of whom gave me a flower. I was already crying at this point.
Finally I walked up Wagner Cove, an idyllic gazebo on the water, and there he stood — my perfect boy in a perfect setting surrounded by flowers and candles ready to put a ring on my finger. It was the easiest "yes" I've ever said." -shares Palak
