Boaz Brown

by Stimpson, Michelle

  Taa-dow!

  The band finished its song, and the whole restaurant hushed.

  “LaShondra Smith, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” he asked, holding my hand. The diamond seemed to catch every ray of light, sparkling brilliantly atop a thick gold band with dainty wisplike engravings covering the band.

  “Yes!”

  The whole restaurant cheered and hollered and screamed for a good minute as Stelson and I embraced. My hand trembled as he slid the ring on. It fit perfectly. We kissed tenderly as the noise died down to its normal rumble.

  “I love you,” I told my future husband.

  “I love you, too,” he whispered as he kissed me again.

  My parents congratulated us, and Momma asked to see the ring. It fit me perfectly. “I knew it,” she sighed.

  “I knew it, too,” Daddy agreed. “ ‘Specially since he already asked me.”

  My father looked half happy. Half not.

  I took the happy.
