These are great stories!
Joel and I met at a Christian college when the book, "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" was popular, so for a month we joked that we were going to skip dating and just get married. Until at some point we realized we weren't joking and that we already were dating!
He proposed a year later on Christmas Eve. He was pastoring a small church in the country, and we went there in his mom's car. So when one of the deacons drove by and didn't recognize the car, he busted in (right in the middle of the proposal!) with his gun!
Joel had cards written in caligraphy with ten reasons he loved me, and he had hidden the cards with a gift throughout the church. There was a scavenger hunt to find each card/gift, and the last one was in the Bible in the pulpit in the sanctuary, and it said, "Because you are the one God has for me." and when I turned around, he was down on one knee.
