♥Mr & Mrs Lourens♥
(♥ 21 September 2013 ♥)
Bride: Marina
Groom: Pieter
How did you meet your husband? Via very good friends/ neighbours (now they are family :)
Did you know right away that he was ‘The one’?
Not exactly
How did he propose? Tell us the story...
He did buy me an engagement ring 5 years back but he did not ask
the question. I wore the ring for 3 years and one day I hit my hand accidentally
against the door frame and a piece holding the stone in place broke off. So
eventually when we got enough money we fixed the ring. I did not want a new one
because this ring was already special to me. That night after we picked up the
ring from the jewellers I was busy packing away some groceries and when I turned
around there he was on his knee asking the big question finally. It was not the
most romantic setup but that moment was perfect. I thought

1 Corinthians 13:4–8a
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. (NIV)
