Joel Bush proposed to girlfriend Jennifer Orr the other night on the
state capital grounds in Austin, Texas, with no one around but the two
of them.
So he thought.
Photographer Patrick Lu happened upon the couple, took some amazing candid shots of the moment and them posted them on Austin's Reddit.
Hoping to share them with the newly-engaged couple (Jen said yes,
thank god), he wrote, “Did any of you propose at the capital last
night?”
Lu received 1,400 "up" votes (the most ever in that sub-reddit), but
didn't even need to track down his mystery man: Bush himself found the
post.
“The thread found me through friends,” Bush said, adding that he's
active in the Austin tech meetup scene, so “I’m not surprised it found
me.”
Bush says he unwittingly got the best of both worlds, with a private
moment shared by just the two of them, yet fantastic photos to cherish
forever.
Lu said Reddit was a logical spot to look for the soon-to-be-newlyweds.
