Lindsay Kaplan & Richard Blakeley
Beacon , N.Y. Lindsay knew something was up when she walked into a dinner party last April and saw the bottles of Macallan 12 on the table.
It’s her favorite Scotch, after all, the drink she’d shared with Richard on their first date, in 2009. But neither Lindsay nor any of the other guests knew just what Richard was planning.
“I didn’t tell a single person,” he says, “so I could chicken out at the last minute.”
Fortunately, the groom, 35, found his courage and fell to one knee in front of everybody to propose to Lindsay, 30. The Upper West Side couple married last month at The Roundhouse at Beacon Falls. Among the guests were friends from dozens of major media organizations and tech companies.
