Roosevelt Island’s East Waterfront Promenade in Southtown was the site for a marriage proposal last Saturday afternoon. Resident Catherine Sheils shares these photos and reports:

The groom was expecting her to arrive down hill from Main Street. There was a trail of flowers lined from the road to the bottom of the hill.

Finally they realized she was approaching from the riverside & the crowd flipped round to face her. It was pretty exciting.

Bless him, he waited 20 minutes for his lady to show.
