In a sea of glimmering Broadway lights and advertisements in Times Square, one man had a special request for his girlfriend of six years.
Jose Negron of Waterbury, Conn. wanted to give his long-term girlfriend Alicia Cartigila a marriage proposal that would be as large as his love for her — so he rented out space on a billboard in the advertisement capital of America.
Cartigila excitedly said “yes,” before Negron got up and embraced her with a hug in celebration as many cheered around them.
The billboard is above the Pelé Soccer store at 1560 Broadway between 46th and 47th streets and the image would appear once an hour for 15 seconds for 24 hours in Times Square.Cartigila showing off her wedding engagement ring after the memorable proposal.The purchaser will get an email confirmation when they can expect their image to appear next to Broadway ads and celebrity endorsements.
