Surprise Proposal

Our daughter, Julie, met a young man, Mark, while they were working on a ranch in Colorado. After Julie came home, Mark decided to pursue the relationship and came to visit her.

Our pastor, while greeting visitors from the pulpit, welcomed the young man who was "Julie's future husband." Embarrassed, Julie leaned over and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mark."

Mark whispered back, "Why?"

She replied, "Because, you've never asked me to marry you."

He said, "Will you?"

She said, "Yes," and suddenly they were engaged.

They were married in that same church.
