Saying Yes

I could hardly wait. This was the day that we would talk more about the question! He picked me up at 6:00 and took to me an expensive Italian restaurant. We had a casual conversation over dinner and then drove to the city and found a swing perched alongside the river. The evening breeze was warm as we sat there side by side watching the orange glow of the setting sun. As time went on we prayed together and read a little.

Then he looked me in the eye, “I’m going to ask you again. Will you marry me?”
“I will!”
He grinned. “Do you know what that makes you?”
I hesitated, not sure where he was going. “No.”
“My fiancé!”

Then he presented me with a beautiful bouquet of white lilies which he knew was one of my favorites. My heart danced with joy!
