Sometimes, no matter how
hard you try to plan for something, you can still be surprised. Such
was the case for Twyla Huang. Twyla and boyfriend Andrew DiSimone had
planned a “day of surprises” to celebrate their five-year anniversary.
The idea was for each of them to surprise one another with fun things
to do in the city that neither of them had ever done before, things
like “Go to the Oyster Bar in Grand Central” and “Walk around Central
Park.”
The Bride Twyla Huang, 29, creative services manager
The Groom Andrew DiSimone, 30, web manager
The Date September 3
But
once Twyla and Andrew realized what a logistical nightmare the day
could turn into, they decided to make a plan. Each of them wrote down
their ideas and took turns picking the day’s activities out of a hat.
As Twyla opened her final pick, she was immediately floored: “It said
‘Get Engaged,’” she remembers. With that, Andrew pulled out a ring and
proposed, and Twyla -- realizing that you can’t plan everything --
happily said yes.
