CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — A bookstore in Cambridge was the site of two marriage proposals…on the same day.
Lovestruck Books has been open for 7 months in Harvard Square, and they specialize in selling romance stories. Some couples have found that it is the perfect spot to propose to their loved ones.
While Event Manager for Lovestruck Books Riley Mulroy wasn’t surprised about the idea of proposals happening at the store, he was surprised at the proximity of the two of them, both happening on Sunday, July 27.
He explained that the first proposal was a complete surprise to them, and the first proposal to happen in the store since it opened.
“I was standing at the cash register, and I just heard ‘Oh my God, they're engaged, they're getting engaged,” Mulroy said. “It was the unexpected plot twist three quarters of the way through the book.”

The second one was more planned out, with a man named Samuel reaching out to the store with his proposal idea.
“Samuel reached out to us and asked if you could send us this book that we would have on hand for his fiancé to read,” Mulroy said. “It was this beautiful story totally printed, bound, had a dust jacket on it, and it was just a wonderful moment of watching her flip through the pages of their love story and be in that moment together.”
Mulroy said how happy he was that so many found Lovestruck to be the perfect place for such a live-changing event.
“We’re so happy that anyone is just reaching out to us and making sure that we're a place that they can come to have their love stories,” he said. “We're so happy to be part of anyone's happily ever afters.”
