He's crazy. She's weird. They're gettin' married. 'Nuff said. Just kidding. :) I can say these things cause she's my roommate - and it's my blog! [You're probably wishing Mom were writing this aren't you!]
Talk about a man with a plan. Brad is that man. He pulled up to the session with a duffel bag full of props and surprises to use for their pictures.
Crazy about these next two, Katie and Brad!
Katie may be my roomate, but I was pulling for Brad!
We liiiiike SECRETS! And we had one! Brad had shared that he wanted to reenact his January proposal to Katie. [With one little surprise detail.] Thus he began with a story and by sharing some special gifts with the one he loves.
Originally, the ring Brad had given Katie was made of cowhorn (brought from Africa). Here's the surprise. In reenacting the proposal, the cowhorn ring was swapped for ... THE MOST. BEAUTIFUL. SPARKLING. SPECIALLY. CUSTOM-DESIGNED RING. By the groom for his bride-to-be! [Did I mention today was her birthday!] Even more special, the ring was inscribed with Lamentations 3:25, and made with diamonds from Katie's grandmother's ring, and from the ring her dad gave to her mom.
Katie couldn't stop looking at her ring... and rightly so - it's gorgeous!
One thing we love and appreciate so much about Brad, is his servant's heart.
While Brad and Katie were dating, I was always curious to see what the contents of the next package from over-the-ocean would be. Sometimes it was a letter and some pictures, other times a DVD, and once a homemade Candyland game. In turn, Katie once labored for hours in our suite lobby, making this puzzle to send to Brad. So when Mom spotted it in Brad's bag of surprises, I knew it was one "prop" I wanted to use.
"There is no me without you."
"The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him."
