The Dean's List - What A Real Marriage Proposal Looks Like
by Dean


I know I will get a lot of moans and groans on this one, from the guys, but I must say that this is one of the most beautiful proposals I have ever seen.

Orignally published on the Arizona Black Pages website, the scenario goes like this (the link to the video is at the end):

1st

He asked all of his nearest friends and his parents and his girlfriends parents to come into Atlanta and he paid for all of them to spend the night at the Ritz there in Atlanta. He told his girlfriend, who is now his fiancee that they were going to a formal affair at the Ritz. You will notice in the video that they are both dressed for a formal event. When they got there he had all of his male friends gathered in one room and he asked them to interview his girlfriend (so to speak).

They were allowed to ask her questions that they felt would provide answers to reassure them & him that she is the one for him. Then he had each of his male friends to join their wives in their individual rooms and each couple prayed with them (he & his girlfriend) separately. He also had an envelope in each of the rooms with the individual couples. The envelopes touched upon different aspects of their future together.

Then he took his girlfriend into the room where they greeted his parents and then into a room where they greeted her parents and there he asked her parents for her hand in marriage. Lastly, he took her into a separate room and formally proposed to her. From there they joined all of their very immediate family and friends in a room where they celebrated his proposal to her (their engagement).

This video gives me hope that there are still some real true, genuine brothers left out there. It sends a message to young men and women that we're worth the wait.

Robert is a graduate of Southern University and is now an accountant with Home Depot at their corporate office in Atlanta. My understanding is that he financially footed the bill for this weekend himself. It was not supplemented by his parents. I was told that he moved in with his sister for approx. 6mos. and saved the money to pay for the engagement ring and all of the bells and whistles for this very special evening.
