When my husband proposed to me, let's just say I was underwhelmed. We had been dating about 10 months, and were hanging out at his house in the family room. He looked over at me and said, "So, you want to do it?"
"Do what?" I inquired, totally uncertain what he had in mind.
"You know, get married..." So that's how we decided to become engaged, look for a ring, and plan a wedding. No original song, no getting down on his knees, no poetry, no champagne, no ring hidden somewhere creative, no Eiffel Tower moment. We have laughed often over the years, as Warren tries to justify his approach saying that he wanted to be sure I was really interested (which I thought was totally obvious in every way!).
Last Saturday, a staff member on our Production team proposed to a staff member from the Promiseland team. And this proposal exceeds everything I've ever heard about! I'm attaching the link. With the help of his friend and teammate Brooke Sanford, and tons of volunteers, Kevin popped the question to Laura using our church facility and some cues from the film Enchanted. Laura was completely surprised, and both sets of parents were there to join in the celebration. You just have to watch this 2 ½ minute clip to believe what happened.
And here's what my logical left-brained husband said when I told him about Kevin's extravaganza: "What if she had said No?" Oh, his sense of romance hasn't changed in 28 years. Good thing I adore so many other things about him!
