Jan 21 2017 - 10:45am

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 [1] 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.
