However, a piece of my heart and soul lives in New York. I traveled to Manhattan alone as an 18 year old, to set up what became a large internet watch company \u2014 a company that set the stage for many business successes and relationships in my life. I\u2019m a 3rd generation, die hard Yankees fan. Every year I travel to Manhattan, the most romantic city in the United States. Yankees Stadium, Central Park, dirty water dogs, slices of pizza, premium restaurants, shopping and nightlife. All of the aforementioned are reasons to lend New York a piece of my heart, and attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A year ago, I took Charly to one of the sexiest brunches in the entire country at The Boathouse, in Central Park. We ate, we drank, and we were merry. We wanted to go out on the lake, and row the boats. Thunderstorms ruined the plan. We sadly walked past the boats, underneath a park purchased umbrella and said to ourselves, \u201cnext time, we have to do it.\u201d A promise I intended to keep. \u2019Twas that moment, that my mind was sparked with creativity &amp; intrigue, and my heart was warmed. I knew \u201cnext year\u201d was the year I wanted to propose marriage to my best friend, walking under that umbrella with me.\u00a0\u00a0I knew\u2026 I absolutely and wholeheartedly knew that on that lake, in that row boat,\u00a0I wanted to present Charly with an amazing ring, while I grabbed her hand, looked into her watery eyes with tear stained cheeks, and ask her to spend the rest of her life with me.\u00a0\u00a0The last year has been spent thinking, plotting, planning \u2014 and best of all, layering in a labyrinth of misdirections and little white lies, so that the stage &#8211; and surprise &#8211; was appropriately set.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One thing you all must know about Charly, you CAN\u2019T SURPRISE HER. With any sense that something may, or may not be up, she questions, and questions again, and always needs to know everything \u2014 always. To surprise Charly, one needs to pull off a magic trick that would leave Siegfried &amp; Roy speechless. That\u2019s just who she is, so my plan had to incorporate several \u201cinception like\u201d layers of storyline, mistruths, and \u201clook over here\u201d while I\u00a0make 3 surprise moves over there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Through our courtship, I promised Charly three things. 1- I wouldn\u2019t propose in a restaurant. 2- I wouldn\u2019t propose in a sports stadium \u2014 not even Yankee stadium. 3- she asked me to use my creativity to have my daughter Shelby, and my son Colten be part of the proposal somehow, and in someway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sneaking the kids into New York, behind our back was the most important layer of The Proposal. But how? A 14yr old, and an 11 year old just cant grab a plane. This required help. I needed a team. I called upon my 16yr right hand gal at my insurance firm Tera Safdeye, and my STITCHED VP\u2019s Sam Glaser, and Ricci Lopez. With the right team on board, it was time to architect greatness. Tera\u2019s top task was to provide care to our 5 month old baby French Bull Dog. Without loving care in place, Charly never would have agreed to a frivolous trip to NY. Sam and Ricci agreed to assist with logistics, getting the kids safely to NY, lining up our boathouse staff lies, and ensuring the boats were prepared for what we needed to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Months ago, Charly and I had a desired wedding date and location set. Ashford Castle in Ireland, on 7-7-2020. I\u2019m a huge Mickey Mantle fan. My favorite number is 7. To be married on 7-7 was perfect. And, 2020 is a popular phrase most people use to wish they had done things different, and corrected a mistake. \u201cHindsight is 20\/20. Had I known then what I know now, I would done things different.\u201d 2020 is the perfect year, to define where I\u2019m at in my life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Having a wedding date set, put pressure on The Proposal. I mean, how do you plan, bachelorette party, invite, etc when you\u2019re not even engaged. I promised Charly she would have a year to be a fianc\u00e9e, so the clock was ticking, and ticking loudly.\u00a0\u00a07-7-19 is just around the corner. Every trip we went on, every special night out, every time I did anything out of my normal routine, the surprise-spoiling Charly was suspicious \u2014\u00a0\u00a0is this the moment he asks?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Planets aligning, or gifts from god, I\u2019ll let you be the judge \u2014 but things starting appearing, and making the perfect plan known, and executable. Mind you, it\u2019s the first week in May, and I had nothing on the books to get this surprise under way. I knew the macro level plan, just nothing \u201creal\u201d presented itself, until I received a calendar book from my ex, showing when we each had the kids over the summer. The week after they got out of school (last week in May,) the calendar said \u201cMom moving to Utah.\u201d AH HA! Just the break I needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lie #1, \u201cthe kids are going to Utah with their mother to help her move and set up their bedrooms.\u201d Well damn, what do Charly and I do with our free week? I asked her for ideas, and let her offer a few \u2014 from beaches to cabins, she had some great ones. A day later, I pointed out that the Yankees were playing the Red Sox in New York, the greatest rivalry in sports history, and a match up she was dying to see in person.\u00a0\u00a0I do business with the Yankees, including the creation of their esteemed Monument Park Blazer \u2014 reserved for only the Yankees who had their numbers retired, and enshrined in Monument Park at the stadium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I worked with the Yankees front office to help me with lie #2. I wrote an entire multi-part script that they would copy and paste back to me, so I could show Charly an organic looking text thread where the Yankees demanded our presence for game 1 of Yanks vs Sox at Yankee stadium. A game where the owners, President and GM were going to attend, and they wanted to meet the guy who made all of their sacred monument park blazers, to say Thank You. Charly saw the texts, and quickly said \u201cthe kids are in Utah, we have to go. You have to go meet the Steinbrenners. When will you ever get to meet the owners of the Yankees again? This is exciting\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lie #3: I wanted her to feel like a princess, and stay at the historic The Plaza Hotel, right at the front door step of Central Park. To book a room at The Plaza, for no reason, would have been out of character for me \u2014 we would rather spend the extra thousands $ on activities, and fun in the city. The Yankees played along, and text me that they had partner rates at a list of great hotels, Plaza included. I waited a few days, and then hit Charly with the proper cellphone call, \u201choly shit, the Yankees rate is 25% off, and they are throwing in the 4th night free. WE HAVE TO GO!!!\u201d In the meantime and real life, the Yanks are insistent that after the proposal I bring my secret team to the game, do an exclusive tour of the stadium, their museum and white glove items from the vault. Maybe we\u2019ll meet the owners, but we will definitely have our congratulations on the huge scoreboard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lie #4. I had to create a fake trip to throw her off the scent. Just in case. Somewhat of an insurance policy, if you will. Yep, this is what it\u2019s like to surprise Charly \u2014 your plan better have layers to it, with a dream team of actors. Charly\u2019s birthday is July 14th. Right around a year away from the wedding date of 7-7.\u00a0\u00a0I spent a week getting her and the kids excited for our first trip together to Disney world. I was being over the top with my requests for her to look at the rides and tell me which were her favorite. I contacted the GM of Four Seasons (with her on the emails) here in Vegas, and asked for help booking the Four Season\u2019s Disney world luxury property. Charly said that we didn\u2019t need to stay at Four Seasons because we would be at the theme parks all day. I demanded that this trip is special, and luxurious. She stopped asking too many questions which lead me to believe, she felt Disney world, for her birthday, 1 year away from the wedding, WITH THE KIDS THERE, was the proposal. After the real proposal, she confessed, she thought I was asking for her hand in marriage with the kids at Disney world. SUCCESS!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Plaza booked. Plane tickets booked. Tera is taking our puppy. Sam and Ricci are poised to grab my children and get them safely to NYC, just down the road from us in alternate hotel accommodations. I was thinking that having Ricci, the social media addict, Sam, and two kids there, we had enough cell phone activity to capture the moment. But then, out of nowhere, long time friend and legendary Vegas photographer Shane O\u2019Neal reaches out to me \u2014 because Beauty &amp; Essex at Cosmopolitan could not accommodate him that night on his birthday. Sold out. Shane asked if I could juice him into a nice birthday table, and in quick order, I did. A lightning bolt hit my brain in those birthday hook up moments \u2014 \u201cShane, what are you and your wife Deed doing on the 29th and 30th of May? And, can you be in New York?\u201d To my pleasure he said, \u201cactually, we\u2019re strangely open that week until Saturday, what\u2019s in New York? We\u2019re down\u2026\u201d I told him the plan, to propose on the lake in central park, in the row boats,\u00a0\u00a0in front of the big fountain. His response keeps the planets aligning. \u201cAre you f*cking with me?\u201d I wasn\u2019t sure what he meant, but he continued to think it was a joke. When I said it was real, and I\u2019d love for him to capture it, he confessed to me that almost to the day, three years earlier, he proposed to his wife, in the boats at the boat house. The hair on my neck went up. Coincidence? I think not. Now I\u2019ve added in more layers of complexity to have Shane on camera, and Deed on video, in New York to capture it all. Who better, than a genius photographer, who knows the lay of the land, the angles, and the vantage point to spray his photographic greatness on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">PROBLEM! A week out, and every day along this journey, the weather forecast on our iPhones showed thunderstorms the day before, the day of, and the day after the scheduled proposal. Damn! This had me on edge, the entire time. I prayed 3 times a day, everyday, that god would give this weather a break. We can\u2019t miss another boat opportunity due to rain. Not for The Proposal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All fears &amp; stresses pushed aside, here we go\u2026. Eamon and Charly on the 6am flight. Sam, Ricci, Shelby, Colt, Shane, and Deed on the 9:30 am flight. That night in Manhattan we were constantly on a secret group text to avoid each other. Charly and Eamon were bearing the nasty thunderstorms by Irish Bar hopping (we\u2019re Irish.) The group was 1 block away enjoying an authentic Italian dinner, and enjoying play time at Hershey and M&amp;M World at Time Square.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Next morning \u2014 the day of: We wake up. Morning rain is coming down. I send Sam into the park to confirm the boats would still go? It was a maybe, depending on the weather. Charly and I get ready for a high class brunch at Boathouse, with the idea of heading to Yankee stadium after \u2014 this is how I got Charly \u201cmore dressed up\u201d for a Yankees game, than normal. She has to be photogenic for her proposal, and not a backwards Yankees hat. Although that look is super hot on her. We\u2019re ready, the entire crew is stationed at the park, and the hostess of Boathouse knows that when I walk in and ask for a window seat, the answer is \u201cthere\u2019s an hour wait.\u201d We will accept that wait, and head out on the boats. Details, details\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Leaving the Plaza, there wasn\u2019t a drop of rain. I needed to take a horse and carriage ride to keep the vision alive, yet Charly was reluctant and wanted to walk. Rewinding time, 6 months ago, VEGAS Magazine featured me as a Modern Man in their magazine. Charly, who runs all of our media, wanted me to answer the 3 questions for the media piece. Question #1 was, \u201cWhat would be your favorite day?\u201d I answered that question with what would later prove to be The Proposal; the ideal Manhattan day: I would stay at The Plaza, take a horse and carriage ride to the boathouse in central park. I\u2019d row the boats, like I was in a Disney movie. Later that evening, I would go to Yankees game and enjoy a beer and dog. I remember her being delighted with that answer, and saying she loved it, and how did\u00a0I come up with that? Hahaha! I love this part of the story. I love that she heard the plan, and had no idea that was THE PLAN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With the horse and carriage being part of the blue print, I couldn\u2019t believe she reluctantly fought me on it. I didn\u2019t want to tip her off and push too hard, so we walked. Less than half way to the Boathouse, god took the wheel again. An empty horse and carriage in the middle of the park (which is rare to have an empty walking through the park) pulled up to us, asking if we wanted to do a ride. I said, Charly this is sign. We have to do it, we\u2019ve never done a carriage ride together. She said that I obviously wanted to do this, so let\u2019s take the horse. Ahhh, the plan is in sync, and things are working to perfection\u2026. We were dropped off in front the boathouse, and the carriage left. I was so nervous, I forgot to get a picture of us in it. DAMNIT!!! I told Charly we needed to jog and catch him to get a photo \u2014 she said, its not a big deal, and to just leave it. At that moment I looked up, and I\u2019ll be damned, the sun started peeking through the clouds. Nobody was on the lake. I shouted to the boat operators \u201cYo, are the boats able to go out?\u201d They said yes, come grab one. We did\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We rowed out onto the lake, completely alone. I was a nervous wreck, but I kept it together. My life was about to change. This was the moment I planned for a year. It was all happening, just as I day dreamed it would. I fumbled with the boat for a bit \u2014 its harder than it looks. In short order, I was expertly navigating this boat around the lake, and towards the Fountain of Bethesda. I was telling Charly the story of the fountain \u2014 a story I stumbled upon as I was searching for photos to send Shane of where I wanted to do the kneeled down proposal. The Fountain of Bethesda is topped by the Angel of new beginnings, and healing waters. Lots of ties back to the book of John in the bible, where Jesus healed the sick, and created the sabbath. I couldn\u2019t believe it perfectly aligned to a deeper meaning to my life. I couldn\u2019t wait to have a new beginning with Charly, and those healing waters were definitely needed to heal my past. Originally I just wanted to propose in front of the Fountain Of Bethesda, because I thought it was cool. I knew it was the feature of the Disney movie Enchanted, and the row boats felt like a Disney love story. Charly and I love anything and everything Disney. I wanted her day to feel like a scene from Little Mermaid, where Ariel and Eric in the row boat listening to \u201cKiss The Girl.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\u2019re gliding into position, with Sam, Ricci, the kids hiding behind the huge fountain. Shane and Deed have assumed their positions to capture all the moments. Weather generally kept everybody off the lake but us. I gave Sam the signal (a long exaggerate stretch of my left arm \u2014 get in position on the edge of the water with the kids.) With Charly\u2019s back turned to the Fountain of Bethesda, I notice a huge crowd congregating around Sam, Ricci and the kids. We were now the stars of the show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I took my knee in the boat, held her hand, and spoke for a minute or two. I reminded her how we both felt at Ashford Castle in Ireland, and how we just knew in our heads and hearts that we wanted to get married there. Then I told her about the row boat miss a year prior, and at that moment, I knew I wanted to propose marriage in this spot, a historic spot in a city where a piece of my soul lives. I gave her a baseball reference. \u201cCharly, before I round third and touch home plate, I wanted you to know that I touched all three bases you asked me to touch. 1st, I\u2019m not proposing in a restaurant. 2nd I\u2019m not proposing at a sports stadium. But 3rd is tough, and I did it. With the kids in Utah, I wanted you to know that on Thanksgiving this past year, they stood with me at your parents cabin in Colorado after a long four-wheeler ride, and we asked your father for your hand in marriage together.\u201d She was watery eyed at the moment, but tears streaked down her face when I told her about asking her father first. Back to the speech\u2026. \u201cCharly, you\u2019re so impossible to surprise, it just can\u2019t be done, buuuuut, I think I may have just pulled off a miracle and can really make my ask magical. Look over your left shoulder\u2026.\u201d 20ft away stood Shelby &amp; Colten, holding signs that read \u201cSay Yes\u201d and \u201cCharly Jean Springall.\u201d Phew, the moment is washing over me again. With tears in my eyes, I\u2019m telling you that Charly absolutely lost it. Uncontrollable sobbing. We held each others faces together, smooshed with tears for an entire minute. Once we gathered ourselves, I asked my best friend to marry me. She said yes. The massive crowds around the Central Park fountain erupted into a standing ovation. Everybody had their cameras out filming. The lake was ours, the park was ours, the city was ours, the moment was ours. I presented her with what I call The MANTLEring. 7ct\u2019s of brilliance to signify my love for the number 7, my lucky number, and my fascination with #7 Mickey Mantle, and all that he represented.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We rowed the lake for a bit. Professed our love for each other. FaceTime\u2019d her parents, and disembarked to hugs &amp; love from all who participated. Shane and Deed ran us through a posed photoshoot. We took our real reservation at The Boathouse to eat, drink, and be merry once more. Later that evening, we all went to a special tour of Yankee Stadium. The Yankees congratulated us on the scoreboard, but sadly our game was canceled due to thunderstorms \u2014 a torrential downpour. We caught the Yankees vs Red Sox the next night. Yankees won! The world was perfect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What about the missed photo from the horse &amp; carriage ride? God had our back on that. This next part some may say is made up, but I have a hand full of witnesses to confirm it. When we left the Boathouse, to go back to our hotel and get ready for the Yankees game, we decided to walk through the middle of the park. Again, half way through our walk, as were were crossing the street, I said \u201choly shit, Charly, there\u2019s our horse and carriage and our driver. We have to get a photo.\u201d As they walked up, another couple was inside. Charly said to let it go, and that we weren\u2019t going to kick them out. Hand to god, that carriage stopped its tour early. The couple got out, paid the man, thanked him for letting them off early. He was so excited to see us again, and we showed him Charly\u2019s MANTLEring. We jumped in, and got our photo. I still don\u2019t believe that happened. I still don\u2019t believe the 3 days of insane rain stopped for an hour so we could do the boats. I still don\u2019t believe the complexity of The Proposal all came together, without a hitch \u2014 it\u2019s real, all of it. It happened, and it happened so perfectly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Charly and I wish to be married in Ireland, as two Irish kids, at Ashford Castle. 7-7-2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thank you for reading on, and allowing me to share this precious moment with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Eamon<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u274c\u274c\u274c\u274c<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eamon &amp; Charly Engagement Central Park NY from SON Studios on Vimeo.
