Before I ever met my Fiancé, I remember saving up for the engagement ring. I didn’t meet her yet, but the way I reasoned it, she would come at some point. With that in mind, I started saving for the ring about a year before I ever met her. Then she came into my life, and I quickly snatched her as my girlfriend.
Alas, the love story began. Man meets girl, takes her away from another man, and falls desperately and dedicatedly in love with her. What evidence do I bring groomgroove of my unyielding passion and devotion for the most beautiful and dedicated woman to date? From day one, my overwhelming love for her drove me to start writing a journal…
Within this leather-bound journal, I would continuously write about our adventures, my feelings, and other things in a narrative via my perspective. The journal began to fill up, and next thing I knew, it was time to make that big decision.
With the journal full of over a year’s worth of memories, narratives, confessions, and stories, I decided to propose.
Included is a video of the proposal. The leather bound journal carries all the weight of my love for her, while the ring, which I saved up for two full years to buy, carries the weight of my dedication to her (And if you could see it, and understand I’m a college student, you would be amazed!)
She is a Student Ministries Director, and on the day of her biggest event (3000+ families in attendance; Trunk or Treat Oct. 31), I gathered up all of our family, friends, and church staff. After sneaking them in the reserved sanctuary in church, I ran out, stole her from observing a worship-band, and brought her on stage. The rest of the proposal can be found in the video:
Enjoy and God Bless,
