Below is the part email I sent out to all my friends and family the day after we got engaged:
Family & Friends,
We did it! We’re in love, the ring is beautiful, and we are thrilled to announce our engagement!
The Proposal:
Joseph Barthelemy popped the question on Saturday, June 30 at Maria Pia's, an italian restaurant in Midtown New York. After dinner, the waiter handed us the dessert menu and as I was looking it over, at the bottom of the menu (simulating as a dessert option), it said, "Latoya Evette Harris, Will You Marry Me?" not noticing it at first and after a delayed reaction, I dramatically and loudly said "YES'!
Seconds after saying yes, a couple at another table, who I thought were just restaurant guests, all of a sudden pulled out cameras and began to snap away. Come to find out, Joe hired photographers to snap the moment.
(those pics I will not show because I looked like a mess with makeup running and snot coming all out of my nose! Terrible, but I wouldn't have traded that moment for anything!)
I attemped to attach a picture. - Latoya
