On a Wednesday night at 747 (Central Baptist's college ministry) at the beginning of the service, the worship leader told the crowd to take a few minutes to meet the people around them. Grace knew that there was a really cute guy sitting behind her, so she turned around. The cute guy said, "Hi, I'm Allen!" They exchanged names and shook hands. Later that night, Allen reached out to Grace through social media. They talked for a couple of weeks and on March 3rd, Allen asked Grace to be his girlfriend!
Allen proposed to Grace at church, in the exact same spot they met. They were supposed to be filming videos for their upcoming mission trip at the church on Saturday. Come to find out, Allen had other plans. When Grace walked into the doors, she saw an area that was set up with pictures, lights, flowers, and more. Allen was proposing! Grace was completely surprised and had no idea that Allen had been planning this for months. They later celebrated this day with family and their closest friends.
