Larissa's first guest post on Courageous Joy
I'm so excited I am going to get to marry this sweet man!
Here is the story of how he proposed:
He told me that we were going to go have lunch
with a couple in town that wanted to meet me and I needed to get dressed up for
it. As many of y'all who know Jared, it's not uncommon for him to want to dress
up, so I didn't question him. ::wink::

Such sweetness |
He said that before we met with them that he wanted to show
me where he goes to church. After looking at his church, he continued driving down the street where we saw a cute little pond.
He asked if I wanted to get out and look at it.
Again, this is typical of Jared, so I still
wasn't suspicious! We are walking around the pond when he points towards the
water and says "What is that right there?" I kept looking close to
the water and the trees asking him if it was a squirrel or a fish he was asking
about.

Photographer in place - check |

This is it - now what is my line????? |
I hear him say my name and when I turned around he was on one knee!
|
"Larissa,....." |
|
"....Will you marry me?" |
|
She said, "Yes!" |
|
BTW - that stalker over there - our photographer |
A long time ago I had told him my dream
proposal would include either my family being there or a secret photographer so
we could share the moment with all of our family and friends! I am so grateful
to have such a thoughtful man. Jared, you
are the best!!
