Sunday, July 20th, 2008 was one of the happiest days of my life! Trevor completely surprised me and proposed in front of our entire church! Here’s the quick story leading up to that moment.
We were having a ministry fair at our church, (for those that don’t know what a ministry fair is, it’s when the church has tables and stations set up after service with people and information available to let church members know what different types of ministries we have available and they can see if there is an area they would like to get involved in.)
So on Sunday, July 20th, was our ministry fair. The week prior, Trevor said he was going to have to find someone to do an “interview” on stage for THIRST (our young adults ministry). This seemed normal to me because a lot of times before Jeff Whitaker has interviewed different people depending on what they wanted to inform the church members about. So Trevor kept telling me he needed to find someone to go on stage and talk about THIRST. I tried to think of everyone he could ask, all the while praying he wouldn’t ask me! Everyone “he asked” had a reason or excuse as to why they couldn’t do it (no duh! It was a setup but I didn’t know that at the time), so it came down to him finally asking me! I was freaking out, I said, “there is no way I can go on stage and talk in front of all those people!”, “No way!” , “Not me!” I told him he should just do it, Lol. He said because he was the leader of THIRST it had to be someone else. After much persuasion, I reluctantly said I would do it but I was scared out of my mind. I kept telling Trevor that I was more of a behind the scenes type of person, I don’t do stages and big crowds of people. He assured me I could do it and that I’d be fine.
All week long the only thing I could think about was doing this interview! 
What was Jeff going to ask me?! What was I going to say?! Would words even come out when I opened my mouth to speak!? Then the day finally came…I was so nervous I could barely walk, I was shaking so bad my girlfriend, Melanie, said she could she the bottom of my shirt trembling… So there I am, on stage, trying to only focus on Jeff and his questions, stumbling over my words, wondering how many people I’m actually standing in front of because the lights are so bright I can’t really see and wondering why the heck Guy Richards is taking my picture!?! Wait! Huh?!
After Jeff asked his questions he introduced a video clip from Trevor “to tell us a little bit more about THIRST”, haha! I couldn’t even believe what was happening!
The video clip explains it all! Everyone starts yelling and clapping! Next thing I know Trevor comes out from back stage, gets down on one knee and proposes!!!
It turns out everyone was in on Trevor’s grand plan! Everyone but me! It was absolutely amazing and it was all caught on video so I can watch it forever!
and you can watch it too! Enjoy!
