What is love? Love is a leap of faith.

A friend of mine and her guy got engaged today and it was one of the happiest days.

Behind the scenes, however, there was a lot of persistent

patience and prayer on her end leading up to this day.

So what’s the deal with engagement?

Like some people say,

“Why try to change something that’s working just fine as it is?”

Honestly, engagement is when the man gets the chance to step

up to the plate and set the tone for what marriage will look like.

Does he have humility in asking her father for permission?

AND

Does he take initiative to save for a ring?

AND

Does he know her heart well enough to give her a memory she will always keep close in her heart?

There is so much more that goes into an engagement than just a ring on her finger.

I’m so honored we were able to celebrate their engagement.

It refreshed me to see two intelligent, stable, kind, wonderful people

take a huge leap of faith–one that will lead them into marriage.

MY OH MY what a celebration that will be!!!

Cheers,
