Daniel Jean surprised Esmy Valdez with an L train wedding reception last week.
Jean and Valdez are both content creators with hundreds of thousands of followers. They've made many videos together so when Jean called Valdez telling her to meet him and hung up with no other details, Valdez says she rushed to meet him.
"When I opened the bag, it was a wedding dress, a bouquet, the shoes were in there. I literally got dressed outside my car. I still didn't know. I was complying," said Valdez.
"Shout out to Amazon. That's where I got the dress," said Jean.
They, and many people on the L train, took videos of the July 2 party which garnered a lot of attention online and speculation as to the legitimacy of the couple's relationship.
There was a private wedding with family, according to Valdez. Jean says the L train reception went perfectly, they had fun and helped some Brooklyn commuters do the same.
