"The Proposal"

Today was such a wonderful day. My brother, Adrian, propsed to his girlfriend, Tamesha, at church today. It was one of the most beautiful propsals ever. She had absolutely no idea. I wish my mom was here to witness the event. All of our family made it, both grandmothers, my dad, my uncle Eric, aunts: Dee and Valencia, my cousins: Deneshia, Grainne`, and Rynd, Tamesha's parents, Taurus and I, and a host of friends. It was such a wonderful event.

Because both Adrian and Tamesha are in the choir and love to sing, it only seemed fitting for Adrian to propose to her as the choir entered the platform. After all, it is where they first met. He worked things out so well. The choir normally enters the sanctuary and takes their places on the platform to get us ushered into the presence of the Lord. Adrian also is one of the key people who does our video announcements.

Well, everyone entered the platform except Adrian. He went to the entrance of the sanctuary to await his cue. Adrian went through the weekly video announcements and at the end, he said that he wanted to take the opportunity to tell Tamesha how much she meant to him. He then asked her to "be his queen". As the video played, Adrian walked down the center aisle and then onto the platform, arriving just after the video ended. He then took the microphone and said so many wonderful things about Tamesha. My eyes welled with tears. He got on one knee and formally asked her to marry him. It was so romantic. She had no idea. She said "YES" of course. They kissed and the whole church was cheering. Then Pastor Kelly had everyone stretch out their hands toward them in agreement as he prayed a blessing over their engagement and their marriage.
