Our story begins at Alderson-Broaddus College, where we both were active in similar clubs and school activities. We began to hang out outside of these acitivities and then decided to give the dating thing a try. As you can see, the dating thing worked out. The day Teraun proposed just happened to be April Fools, so of course most people would think it was a joke. The proposal was anything but that, and turned out to be a wonderful surprise for myself. I can remember every detail from that day. Teraun was visiting my family for Easter weekend, and after we ate lunch we were watching TV in my parent’s living room when Teraun spoke up. Teraun had politely asked if we could each take turns reading a verse from the Bible, because this was a tradition his family completed every Easter. My mom was quick to pause the TV and wait for further instructions, as my dad waited patiently in his recliner. Teraun grabbed his Bible from his backpack and handed it to me first. He was sure to instruct me on opening the Bible where the bookmark was, and as I turned the pages it never crossed my mind what would be waiting for me on that specific page. As I made it to the bookmark there lay the most gorgeous ring tied to the bookmark, and the verses 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 highlighted. Beside the verses he had also wrote, ‘Will you marry me?’ My eyes instantly filled with tears as my heart raced while Teraun got down on one knee. We are so excited to share our big day with family and friends from near and far!
