My Marriage Proposal
Marriage Proposal As many American girls, I have grown up dreaming of my wedding day. I pictured myself in a stunning, white gown, standing next to someone who resembled the black Ken doll, the male Barbie. I would vision a crowd of friends and family that were there to see me enter into a never ending fairytale. For some reason, I always left the most important part out. Which is, having the man that God created just for me ask me to marry him. I experienced a life defining moment on January 15, 2004. That was the day that Demetrius, also known as the most perfect man in the world, asked me to marry him. The weather that day was so nice, the sun was shining, and the air was fresh and crisp. We decided to take a walk in the park to admire the scenery. I did notice that Demetrius’s smile was a little wider than normal, and I assumed he was up to something. I had no idea of what he was about to do. When he asked if we could sit on the bench so he could give me a foot massage, I was positive that something was about to happen. I went along with him, anxious to see what he had in store. About twenty minutes passed before he casually asked “where do you see us in five years?” As I thought of the answer to that question, he stared right into my eyes. I answered, “Happy no matter where just happy. That’s when he gave me a soft kiss on the lips and dropped to one knee. I closed my eyes and thought wow, is this really happing. I was in shock. When I opened my eyes to look at Demetrius, he had pulled the ring out of his pocket and pushed it towards me. “Alisha, will you marry me?” he asked. He anxiously waited for an answer while I sat there speechless. He finally interrupted the chaos that was going through my mind by saying, “Well?” I stumbled across the words, “Of course.” That was such a great day. I knew, without a doubt, that this was the man that I am supposed to marry. This is the man that I will grow with, spiritually,

    Will Bury, an enterprising inventor, is convinced that soon everyone will be reading or listening to everything digitally, including books that have been mostly available in hard copy. He knows that there are books on CD, but these are relatively expensive and have been recorded using human readers. He also knows that there is technology that can transform the printed word into audio, but the sound is somewhat inhuman. Will plans on speeding up the transformation with a proprietary technology he has developed and patented. This technology takes the printed word for text materials and creates a file with the option of reading it digitally or listening to it with a realistic synthetic voice. Will knows that he has free access to books no longer under copyright protection, and he figures he can pay a royalty fee of $5 per title for copyrighted books that will greatly expand his catalog. So far, he has limited himself to English-language books but is working on a language translation option as well.…

    I arrived to a church crowded with friends and family. So many people had gone to St. John’s Cathedral to witness the simple, yet elegant, tradition. There were also relatives from Mexico and Puerto Rico who took the long tiring trip to attend. I was honored to see so many people there on my special day. My court of honor led the way into the church. When it was my turn to walk down the aisle, soft music was played by the organist. I felt like a princess walking in my big, beautiful ball gown. My gown was similar to a wedding dress except it was a pastel pink. When the ceremony started it was nerve racking. I was thinking about my hair and people staring at me from behind, and hoping my tiara or…

    Out of creativity came the tradition of jumping the broom. The broom itself held so much meaning for African Americans. In today’s society some of the traditions are finding their way back into the wedding ceremonies. The traditions are great, I can honestly say I heard of jumping the broom, but before extensive research I had no knowledge of jumping the broom. I think our culture has forgotten about the sanction of marriage and what it means to find a good wife or husband. I often say when my grandmother was raised they were strong women with family values and strong beliefs not as simple minded as today’s society. Families stayed together husbands supported there families and raised the children. Men believed in marriage and proposals, and now that is a distant fantasy of the past. In the beginning of the paper I said when we find that perfect mate, well there is no such thing as perfect. Each and every one of us was made from the image of god which we are perfect in a spiritual since. But man perfection is sought under a different scope. In today’s society everybody is looking on the outside and all the little imperfections; Instead of looking on the inside of your mate to reach the soul the mind and heart. Tradition is great but once you find that love of your life, talk about traditions and…

    One night while dealing with my pain and heartache through music on the radio, I began to pray. I prayed to God that he would send me a good husband. I was very detailed about exactly what I wanted in a husband because I knew what I did not want. After my talk with God, “Making Memories of Us” came on the radio. I immediately noticed the artist’s tone of voice; he sang as if he were truly in love: “You’ve been stretched to the limits, but it’s alright now.” This one line in the last verse made a huge impact on me, and I began to cry hysterically. I was coming from a place where I couldn’t take another bad relationship. I remember thinking to myself how romantic it would be if the love of my…
