Alycin Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Congratulations! Yes, yes! Tell all of us hopeless romantics the 'how' part of the story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 That's great! When my husband proposed, he didn't do anything special, so I told him that I was a proper Southern woman, and if he didn't do it right by getting on his knee, that I was going to make him call my redneck brother and ask his permission to marry me. My husband is a big guy, 6'5"/350#, and I have never seen him move so fast before. He was on one knee in 2 seconds flat. It was actually quite naughty of me.

Oik Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Okay. So we are Melkite and I propsed in Church in front of the Icon of Christ (to the right of the Royal doors). Immediately after the Divine Liturgy, I usually put out the candles on the Iconostasis. However, another altar server took care of the candles. Father started "Give thanks to the Lord" which is a hymn we sing after Divine Lutrgy. This was perfect because my girlfriend helps sing with the cantors. I went to the Icon of Christ and motioned for her to come of. Unfrotunately, we had been having trouble with the microphones today, so she thought I was motioning for her to fix the microphone she was using. Lol! I motioned again and said kinda of quiet (cuze we were in church) "Come over here." Then, when she came over (kinda looking concerned and confused, lol) I said "You are the only woman for me." I got down on one knee and said, "Will you marry me?" She said yes, but I thought she might pass out or cry. Lol. She was estatic. Proposing in the Church is specifically special for me because we met in Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
