Happy Ending

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Well, Cheeky Cherry lovers, I did it. A happy ending in every which way. Get your mind out of the gutter. The story went a little something like this…

Girl met boy at a music show. Girl became infatuated with boy. Boy decided 7 years later that it would be fun to hang out with girl. They hung out and that was it- they were inseparable. This is the true story of Zack and I. He’s quite a lucky boy for having me hang around for 7 years for him. But I’m quite a lucky girl, too. I’m lucky because he has a very manly beard. It’s sexy, that beard of his.

Anyway…I digress.

We flew into New York City about two weeks ago. It was a much needed vacation for both of us. We had just launched our own line of tshirts and bags ( www.shultzilla.com – I’m fine with shameless self promotion) and we needed to unwind. We ate alot, shopped alot, was cold alot, walked alot…

One of my most favorite spots in the world is on the Brooklyn Bridge. Such a pretty view from the bridge! We walked to about the midway point and stopped to take our picture. As some random guy snapped pictures of us, Zack pulled out a ring, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

What a cheeky way to do it!

I, of course, said yes. How could I not? He’s the cheese to my macaroni (with red gravy on top!) I teared up a little, we hugged, kissed, laughed and finished our walk across the bridge over to Brooklyn where we went to Grimaldi’s.

I finally did it. Sarah Jessica Parker, I took my proposal story back. All these years, I’ve been so jealous of you every time I see the move “If Lucy Fell” and you bond with the love of your life on the bridge. That’s my story now. And Zack didn’t even make me do the spit test!

So cheeky readers, I’m afraid I’ll be out of dating dilemmas to blog about. But stay tuned for Cheeky Cherry’s Wedding Woes…because like it or not, here comes the bride.

If Lucy Fell

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

My birthday this past year (the big 26) was so rad. The raddest birthday I think I’ve had ever. My friends, brother, sister and I played Laser Tag and then went to eat at my favorite Mexican place in Baton Rouge- El Rancho. Sidenote: That place is so delish.

Anyways, I get home from a really fun day and at my door is a present. The movie “If Lucy Fell” with a little yellow sticky note that said “Happy Birthday [Cheeky]“.

Random. I didn’t recognize the handwriting as it was in a Sharpie marker. It’s a very rare movie…with one of my favorite actresses- Sarah Jessica Parker…and it’s set in one of my favorite places- NYC. Very good movie as most of the important parts takes place on the Brooklyn Bridge, which for some reason, I am obsessed with. SJP has my proposal…on the bridge.

On to the rest of my story- To this day, I have absolutely no idea who left it. I like to think that it’s from someone who secretly wants to propose to me on the Brooklyn Bridge. I doubt it though. 

However, if you know anyone who leaves the movie “If Lucy Fell” on girls’ doorsteps, please let me know. And thank you to whoever left it…I really heart that movie.
