So tomorrow night, I am taking Megan's parents out to dinner. I asked them sometime last week. Megan's mom confronted Megan yesterday at church in the hallway and asked what it was going to be all about. She asked, is this going to be about "dun dun dun duuun" (wedding song), Megan briskly answered yes and walked away emberassed.
I am nervous.
It should go over well though. I get along with her parents quite well, and they are so easy going and fun. Apparently, Megan's mom was excited to hear the news. That makes me feel very good about the whole thing. I hope to give them a real tangible reason as to why I want to marry their daughter. It is important to me that I receive their blessing. I want to tell them my thoughts on love; why I believe it exists. I want to give them clear answers as to why I first started dating Megan. I want them to know why I love her, and how that has effected me. I don't want to just sit them down and tell them I love their daughter and tell them to trust me, now let me have her hand in marriage. I want them to really understand why I believe I NEED Megan in order to be fulfilled in life.
I am not going to go to this dinner like it is a game. Marriage is not an extension to dating to me. This will more than likely be the most important dinner of my life thus far. With that having been said, I hope that it is fun!
