"Yes!"

One month ago today, Mr. A. asked me to be his wife, and I said yes. Actually, I was so surprised, I didn't say anything at first. The question, while all along anticipated, came at a most unexpected moment: after church on a Sunday night. I didn't think Mr. A. could surprise me, because from the the first time we met and visited at a church conference, we knew we would be getting married. It was a matter of when, not if. In fact, on our first official date, we were discussing the details of the wedding! But surprise me he did. I was teary and speechless; all I could do was nod my head.

"I'm taking that as a yes," he said.

"Yes, yes!" I said at last.
