The Right Way to Get Engaged

How many of you experienced mind mush when you got engaged? I know I did. I barely got the blanket down on the ground for our picnic before I dropped to a knee and blurted out "will you marry me?" It was a wonderful experience none the less and I will cherish that moment more each day.

Last night my sister, Angelee, said "yes" to the man of her dreams. She barely remembers what Jon was asking before she said "yes, yes, yes." The world was spinning. She had found her "forever" friend.

Jon is one of the most sincere and caring guys I have met. He did not take this lightly. He carefully sought God's wisdom in choosing the right mate for many years. He diligently planned and prepared for this life event. He rehearsed his speeches over and over again to avoid any communication blunders. In the end, everything went flawlessly.

This morning I received a phone call from Angelee at 6:30am her time. She hadn't slept all night. She was excited. Yesterday was the day she said "yes" to the life-altering question. How could she sleep? What an exciting time in their life! I'm so proud of them and I'm honored to have this man in the family. Jongelee, as they are affectionately known as by their friends, couldn't be a better match. I hope they cherish this moment forever.
