One Ripples Print Is Worth a Thousand ‘I Do’s!

In honor of Valentine’s Day we’re taking a look back at our very first Ripples proposal.

Originally published January 28, 2019Last fall, our Facebook team received a message from Emanuel Velez, a customer looking for a special cafe in lower Manhattan that served Ripples prints. His story immediately got our attention.Three years earlier, on March 19, 2015 (he remembers the date vividly!), Emanuel’s then girlfriend had presented him with a cappuccino that said “I love you”. No one had ever said that to him before, and naturally, he panicked.His response, a simple “thanks”, didn’t exactly convey what he felt…or what his girlfriend had hoped to hear. But Emanuel knew that the time would come to redeem himself. Three years later, that time had arrived.So he bought a ring, hired a photographer, and planned a trip to New York City that hit all the top spots, including the perfect cafe where he could propose with a Ripples-topped drink.When he reached out to our team we gave him a list of options (He was planning a trip. If you’re already in a city you can visit webapp.drinkripples.com to see nearby venues), and offered to have the Ripples Creative team design something custom just for the occasion.This time, however, Emanuel knew exactly what he wanted to say and he was prepared with a Ripples design of his own.Emanuel presented his girlfriend with a special Ripples message that was just for her, made extra meaningful because it bridged a moment in time that had brought their relationship to the next level.Her response? We’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
