The Engagement: 20 Days of the Holiday Train Show
Posted in Holiday Train Show on November 28 2011, by Matt Newman
“I look forward to bringing our kids someday, and telling them the story of how their daddy proposed to their mommy.”
From now until December 17, our visitors will be sharing their fondest memories from 20 years of the Holiday Train Show–some of them touching, some comical, and every one of them cherished. Come back to Plant Talk each day for a new story, which you can see after the jump along with a feature on one of the many replica New York City landmarks on display in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory–the Guggenheim Museum, Yankee Stadium, the Empire State Building and more.
As a bonus, read on to find out how you can win a Family Four-Pack of Holiday Train Show tickets for yourself!
I first heard about the Holiday Train Show in 2008, and begged my boyfriend to go. Unfortunately, we couldn’t work out plans to go that year. One year later, on December 9th, 2009, my boyfriend surprised me with an early morning e-mail saying he got tickets to the show and asking me to meet him there at 6 p.m.
I was so excited! I ran out of work at 5 p.m. to meet him at the NYBG.
When we arrived, we walked over to the decorated tree by Shop in the Garden, and it was there that he got down on one knee and proposed! I said “yes” (of course) and we were married the following fall, in October of 2010. We went back to the Train Show that December to mark the anniversary of our engagement, and now hope to relive that memory every year by making the trip to the Train Show a tradition.
I look forward to bringing our kids someday, and telling them the story of how their daddy proposed to their mommy.
