This was sent to me in an email just to say that there are brothers who still care about marriage and go all out for their proposals....check it out. It is beautiful. Here is a background of the events:

My friend Rob just got engaged a couple of months ago. He told me that God was unfolding a vision in his life over the span of about a year and then he put faith to feet and made it happen. He sent me over the slide show today and after I watched it I sat here almost in tears. Just to give you a brief synopsis of what went on (And yes I did get Rob and Keisha's permission to share this great story with all of you)...Rob and Keisha dated for about 4 years. And he knew that she was the one...but he had to save up for all that God had prompted him to do for her. So in short what you are about to see happened on April 28th....he rented out 10 rooms at the Ritz Carlton in buckhead and invited about 50-60 people to be there for this special night...Keisha had to go from room to room and in each room were people who were special to them....his boys...her girls...her Bible Study group....his parents...her parents..etc. and everybody in each room had questions that she had to answer to be able to move to the next room and before she left each room the people there would pray over her....so you have to watch each room to see how that goes...he chose roses because Keisha aunt who passed suddenly loved roses and he bought some of the dipped in gold because of the stories in the Bible about Solomon and how everything was dipped in gold and the song that you hear playing in the background was the same song that was played at Keisha aunts funeral, she was like a second mom to Keisha. I sent this to each of you not to brag on Rob, or to make anyone sad about being single, or to make anyone that is married or engaged mad at their husband or fiancé' because they didn't do more...but to motivated, encourage, and remind each of you of God's love and of the rewards that come as a result of being faithful and to those of us that are single to show you what HE and HE alone can do if we WAIT ON HIM! Every proposal will not be as elaborate as this one but one that is offered with the Father's permission will be just as special. When I asked Rob what he was thinking and how it felt...he said that he was kicking and screaming all the way. not because he did not love Keisha and want to marry her....but because of the time , money, and stress that was spent doing this. Rob, put his house up for rent and saved for her ring and this night and he did it out of obedience...So to my single lady/men friends and myself I say WAIT and continue to pray, to my married and engaged friends that God for the grace and mercy that he has shown you in the gift of that man/woman that he has given to you and to those of you that bash men/women and really don't believe in love anymore...I know what it feels like but let this remind you that great and perfect (for you) are the gifts that come from HIM. And I do know that everything that glitters is not gold, but I know them both personally and their love and respect for each other is real and from GOD....I love yall...be encouraged! I know I am!
