When Rob Micallef decided to propose to his girlfriend of four years, Jessica Sammut, he knew he wanted to include her favorite dog — the French bulldog — in the proposal. The Brooklyn resident reached out to a Meetup group called "A Frenchie in Brooklyn" and coordinated this sweet proposal with the group's leader, Tiffany Nakamura.
While taking a stroll through Fort Greene Park on Saturday, the couple conveniently crossed paths with Nakamura, whose bulldog was wearing a heart-shaped balloon. Micallef suggested they follow the dog, which led them to a group of 14 more bulldogs wearing balloons as well! On Micallef's signal, the dog owners flipped over the poster boards they were carrying to reveal his message: "Marry me Jess."
She, of course, said yes. And we think a pet adoption may be next on the list for this couple; "I'm more interested in the dogs!" she said.
Believe it or not, this isn't the first NYC proposal to include a group of dogs; in November, Ed Grant coordinated with the New York City Pug Meetup Group to plan a proposal to remember in Central Park while he and his longtime girlfriend, Alexandra Justins, were visiting New York City from England. Is this the cutest new proposal trend or what?!
