He asked me May 29 at about 2 p.m., at my favorite little spot in Bradenton — Jiggs Landing.
The diamond he found is a European cut round diamond from 1910, which I think is really cool.
I'm getting used to it being on my finger, although I haven't completely gotten used to the idea of getting married! However, it is really cool to think about. One thing I've realized is that I absolutely love that this ring signifies I am betrothed. If I pass a man on the street and he sees me, he'll see that I am taken. I am claimed. I belong to someone.
As Christians, we are called the bride of Christ. And as I gazed at my engagement ring the other day, I realized that I am truly the betrothed of Christ. He has put his claim over me, and I belong to Him. I've thought about this before, but it make so much more sense now!
