A few years ago, Jeffrey (from FCC Kingfisher) and Olivia (from Del City Christian Church) went on the Region’s International Affairs Seminar to Washington DC and New York City. Somewhere along the trip, a spark ignited and they began dating.
This year as adults, they chose to attend the Region’s Intersections Trip to Washington DC and New York City. This year was more than a spark though! On Wednesday we traveled by train from DC to NYC. Once we got settled in the hotel, our instructions were to meet in the lobby of the hotel so we could walk together for dinner at John’s Pizzeria and then to the Broadway show, “Kinky Boots”.
As we gathered in the lobby, there was some commotion by Jeffrey. He had pulled something out of his jacket pocket and something else fell on the carpet. Olivia saw it, and asked, “What is that?”
He knelt down on one knee, picked up a beautiful engagement ring, and asked, “Will you marry me?” She said, “Yes!”
It was an exciting and emotional moment for all of us and we certainly celebrated their joy and love the rest of the evening!
Congratulations to Jeffrey and Olivia,
Rev. Pam Holt
