“It’s a check with the amount of money we saved up for your wedding,” her mother explained. “We always hoped you would find the right guy to settle down with, and now you have.”

“I know you’re going to treat my daughter right. You’re a good man, Spencer, and I’m going to be proud to call you my son.”

Ken Price’s affirmation made Spencer proud. He had said as much when Spencer asked for the man’s blessing on their marriage, but it never got old hearing that he approved.

A few minutes later, Greg came up to them and was grinning ear-to-ear. “I’m so happy for you guys. God worked it all out the way it’s supposed to be. Before I go, I have something to share with both of you.” He pulled out a phone from his back pocket and punched a button.

Suddenly, the familiar voice of Sarah came from the phone as Greg turned the phone towards them. “Hey, you guys. Sorry I can’t be there, but I wanted to tell you both how happy I am for you. Everything is great over here in Uganda. I love my English classes I’m teaching. God is really doing amazing things here, and what started out as just a year trip, looks like it’s going to be permanent. I plan to make a trip back for your wedding though, so make sure to send me an invite,” she finished, blowing them a farewell kiss in the video.

“Thanks for that, Greg. We appreciate you delivering the message,” Spencer said, patting his friend on the back.

Next to talk with them was Pastor Matt, and his wife, Sandra. They came up to the couple with giant smiles on their faces.

“Congratulations you two,” Sandra beamed at them. “You two make the cutest couple.”

“Thank you,” Molly said.

“I’m excited to preside over your wedding. Just let us know when you’ve set a date, and we can schedule your pre-marital counseling.”

“Thanks, Pastor Matt. We’ll do that,” Spencer said with a nod.

Once they were alone again, Molly turned to Spencer and said, “All of this has been the most wonderful surprise. I’m so touched by all the work you put into this.”

“You’re worth it, Molly. I love you so much, and I wanted our engagement to be a night you would never forget.”

“Well, you succeeded. It will be a night I plan to tell our children about for the rest of our lives.”

He pulled her into his arms, and whispered against her ear, “I like the sound of that. Our children. Our lives. We’re going to be incredibly happy, Molly Price.”

“I agree, Spencer Conrad.”
