"You don't marry someone you can live with, you marry the person who you cannot live without."


Congratulations to my niece who just got engaged! This weekend she was telling us at Easter lunch how her boyfriend popped the question. (At the ski lodge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.) These days, it's just as important how a guy asks a girl to marry him, as the ring is. Just yesterday at church the pastor recognized two members that had just gotten engaged - just after they landed from their first skydiving jump!

I think I should be a consultant to young men on how to ask their bride-to-be to spend the rest of their lives together. I think the bar has been raised these days with all of the cable bridal shows, so creativity is key! Maybe a scavenger hunt to find the ring. Maybe baked in a cake? And public places are always fun because other women are suckers for romantic men. Each proposal, of course, must be customized to the couple, but in a way that's very special for both people. Marriage, they say, is like a plant. It must be watered, pruned, taken care of, and...
They lived happily ever after...
