Missionary is in a family ward. Woman notices missionary. She is blown away and feels this is the one. She discloses her feelings in her journal. She shows the journal to the missionary. Missionary blows off his longtime girlfriend back home (who is rightfully 14 different kinds of angry) to be with this woman, with whom he has not spoken more than 8 words. And those 8 words were (hopefully), 'Hello Sister ______. Do you have any referrals?' if we assume all conversation was as it should.
Missionary prays. And he prays and he prays and he prays. And he prays some more. And he is convinced that this woman is for him. Other members counsel him to date this woman, plus others once he is released. Funny how rational advice goes in one ear and out the next when in luuuuuuuurve.
Date of release arrives. He brings woman back to meet his family. They become engaged after a few days. Cue Facebook stalking.
I find out the best thing ever:
She is in the class of 2013.
IN HIGH SCHOOL.
IN. HIGH. SCHOOL.
SHE HAS NOT HAD PROM YET.
A 24 YEAR OLD MAN IS TAKING A HIGH SCHOOL CHILD/HIS WIFE TO PROM. (There HAS to be some school policy against this if in an effort to ward off pedophiles, parents aren't allowed to videotape elementary school soccer games.)
Wait a second. What if they can get prom to be their wedding reception?! What a brilliant way to save money! Prom tickets are what, $35 per couple? Get a big group in on the limo and that's just an extra $42. She can even pick up his flower thing at the school cafeteria. Forget about needing to hire a photographer - the school yearbook has it covered!
Maybe this isn't crazy.... I think they're working the system really well.
And that lobster picture? Freaking adorable (I GUARANTEE they are Mormons). I love love.
