leadership dot #1639: proposal, 2.0

A man and his girlfriend were shopping at Sam's Club and stopped by the jewelry counter. They looked through the case at engagement rings, and the clerk asked if they would like to see one. "Yes," the man replied.

Soon he had the ring in his hand, was down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend - right there in Sam's Club! (She said yes.)

It reminded me of the dot I wrote on Monday about proposals not needing to be lofty. Marriage proposals don't need to be fancy either. 

Yes, people spend hundreds of dollars and an inordinate amount of hours creating the right atmosphere and perfect moment to pop the question. Or they do it in Sam's. Either way, there is still an engagement.

Focus your time on the marriage, not the wedding. Spend your time on the work, not the proposal. Fancy is highly overrated.
