Engaged!

Here is the story!

When Justin came to pick me up for the army ball yesterday, we had a little photo shoot.

We then went to the Opryland Hotel and found our way to the ballroom area where Justin introduced me to several people he works with. We got our picture taken by a photographer they had set up there. There was a ceremony and a dinner. We slipped out soon after dessert before the making of the “grog,” a mix of several things including many different types of alcohol, sand, and a sock which each represent something of significance.

Justin led me through the hotel to a large, lit pavilion area with a fountain in the center where he proposed!

Then to my surprise, both of your families appeared to congratulate us and take pictures.

Congratulations Emily! Welcome to the family Justin! We are praying that God will go before you in your upcoming marriage and that you two will glorify him in all you do.

By the way, I didn’t get a notice for this. I just knew to go look ’cause Emily mentioned she posted this.
