How the Internet Helped Track Down the Strangers in This Picture-Perfect Proposal

When a Redditor secretly captured a gorgeous New York City proposal, they summoned the power of the internet to help the stunning photo land in the hands of the newly engaged couple. Reddit user JTran1 snapped the candlelit proposal in New York's Brooklyn Bridge Park on a misty day and left the scene without showing the couple the picture. Later on, the sneaky photographer posted the shot on Reddit with the caption: "To the newly engaged couple — I hope this picture finds you! Congratulations!" And the internet graciously accepted the challenge of uniting the lovebirds with the picture of the special moment.
