• If you have given or received a marriage proposal, will you share the story?

     
        Actually this is neither about giving or receiving a proposal. When I was younger my biological father and our family hosted a chat room on Yahoo called the Pastor's study, (both my parents were ordained ministers), and we had a regular membership in the room, we all knew one another and a few of us had even gathered at each others houses. (This was back in the early days when only 25 people were allowed in a room and rooms had people that went to the same room everyday to talk to people, not just to troll for sex.) Two of our regulars began to date one another and soon they asked my father to marry them, since they considered him their spiritual leader. On the day of the wedding, we all gathered around our computers, made sure our text was colored blended just right, and conducted what I do believe was the first, perhaps the only, online wedding. About a month later he traveled to her home and they were united legally in that state by a justice of the peace. It was beautiful, the sentiments were no less heartfelt for being online, as it was where the couple had met in the first place.
