Thing 2 was lured to the church last night under the ruse of birthday party for her boyfriend, only to discover he had brought her there to propose to her in front of their families and closest friends. It was very touching, and more than one man in attendance got teary-eyed.
Ironicly, she ate Chinese for lunch, and the fortune in her cookie was spot on ...
Rope lights created a path to lead her into the darkened gymnasium to a lace-draped table with a dozen roses and two candles, and a pair of his boots and her heels sitting in front ...
Their family and friends stood quietly on the running track above the gym. Somehow, and probably for the first time in their lives, her boyfriends very young niece and nephew, were completely silent. She didn't know we were there until we all started cheering afterwards ...
I filmed it, but it's not a great video. You can't hear anything other than the music, but their actions were expressive enough that we need to hear them. She was surprised and thrilled and elated ... and she got the dramatic, romantic proposal every girl dreams of. I can hear their future kids saying, "Mommy, tell us the story again of how Daddy asked you to marry him."
I couldn't be happier for them. He's a great guy and his family loves her to pieces. My little girl is getting married!
