Background
I told Lauren I was in New Orleans this weekend and I faked flying there and slept at the apartment of @hestonl Friday night. So she had no idea I was in town to propose on Saturday.
Then I had @afox lure Lauren to our favorite spot overlooking the whole city, Bernal Hill. Amy told Lauren that she was meeting a dog owner to look at a dog she might want to adopt. Waiting at the top of the hill I was hiding behind some rocks waiting to pop-out and get on one knee.
Digital geekiness
So I had @hutchins hiding with me behind the rock with his iPhone live streaming the proposal and he also had a camera taking photos. I had sent out the link 30 minutes earlier to both our families, so they were watching live.
Once I got the signal that she was there, I checked into Bernal Heights Park via Foursquare which shouted the URL to the live stream on Qik, which automatically synced to my Twitter and Facebook accounts. I knew Lauren received my tweets via text message on her phone, so I asked her to turn around as I proposed!
Also @ubercab was waiting for us with a Mercedes town car that took us around the whole night! He took us home to drop things off, then we headed to Fisherman’s Wharf where we ate crab for dinner.
I am so happy and so lucky. Thank you everyone who helped! I LOVE YOU LAUREN
