RED ROSES!

Vibrant red roses make most situations much more special.

Our son Kyle recently asked his girlfriend to marry him! We were soooooo excited! We love Victoria and were “patiently” and eagerly awaiting their engagement.

Kyle was a classy act as he set up the romantic time to “pop the question.” When Victoria came home from work, he was waiting in her apartment. There was a gorgeous red rose with a lovely picture of the two of them on the front door. She came in the door, and in front of her on a pillar was another magnificent red rose with another lovely picture of them. From this pillar, there were soft rose petals leading into the next room, where Kyle was waiting on bended knee, with another memorable red rose and another one of their lovely pictures. He told her how much he loved her and asked her to be his bride.

She said, “Yes!” and cried and cried. He probably did, too.

Keep those red roses coming! What a beautiful way to celebrate a beautiful occasion!

How often do parents get the opportunity to watch their grown children reach a place in their lives when they choose the person they want to marry and live with for the rest of their lives? What a blessing we feel to watch them nurture those relationships - embrace their differences, cherish their time together and encourage each other to pursue their passions! 

Congratulations, Kyle and Victoria! We couldn’t be happier about your upcoming wedding. May God bless your marriage!

With love,

Colleen
