It is every girls dream to meet her prince charming, fall in love and live happily ever after. Well this happened for me 4 weeks ago on 6-7-08. I fell in love with my prince charming serving at church in the park; an outreach to those in need. We then started to hang out and as you know quickly started dating. At first, I thought that God was telling me no. Not to date him, but I now know that it was my flesh. In my mind I had created and imaginary husband and his name was Jesus. I would sleep with my pillow at night imagining it being him. I put a ring on my finger and called it my purity ring. I acted as if I was married and wouldn't allow anyone in. Well, as you can imagine this created a big problem between Jamie and I. I felt like I was cheating on God and he felt like I was cheating on him. Praise God, through much prayer and seeking of wise counsel I was set free of that.
Feb 14th 2008, he poped the question. Valentines Day. I had asked him earlier in the week to come up with something special to do on Valentines Day, so when the day came I had high expectations. (Now at this point I knew that the question was going to be ask in Feb or March but I didn't think that it was going to be this week. Let me tell you why; Jamie had a connection with a man that could give him an amazing deal on a ring but unfortunately the guys mom died the week Jamie got his check. Valentines week. So needless to say I was not expecting it to happen for a couple of weeks.) So 5:30 Jamie picks me up and tells me that we are going to Emeralds point. I got really excited. Then he proceeded to tell me that it closed at sunset which was 6:30 and that we were stopping for dinner first. I then started to get upset. It was great that he planned this stuff but by time we got done it would be 7:00pm and we would be board with nothing to do! ON VALENTINES DAY!
So we pick up Mexican food to go and quickly got to Emeralds point. We made it there just in time to see the sunset. 6:15 with 15 minutes allowed to walk to the highest point for the best view. We left the food in the car and hurried to the top. Once we got to the top, all my worries drifted away. It was breathtaking. As he wrapped his arms around me, I started to thank God for he had given me. At that moment Jamie grabbed my right arm turned me around. (His face was the reddest I had ever seen anybodies face before!!) He then said " I feel kinda silly right now" I responded " why"? He then got down on one knee and said because I am asking you to marry me. Going through my head was "OH MY GOSH. What I do? Do I say yes, well he didn't really ask. What do I do, what do I do. " Then I blurted out, "Then ask me." He said "Christine will you marry me?" I said "OF COURSE!" We then stood there hugging for a long time till we realized that the park was closing and we had to leave.
Then the planning started. The funnest yet most stress full time of my life. My mother was the hardest yet biggest help. If it wasn't for her helping I wouldn't have had the wedding of my dreams.
I still think I will wait to tell you about it when I get my pictures in. Then I will be able to show you all as well.
