The Best Engagement EVER!!
Okay, I really hope this hasnt been posted before. I'm sure most of you have probably received this in an email but OMG, it's the best engagement (and most expensive may I add! lol) That I have seen in a very long time!
Okay, this is about a Greek guy (Omega) from Southern University. Its not funny, but its the BEST dern engagement I've seen in a long time.
This is the story, The guy told his fiance that they were having a party for her brother at the Ritz Carlton, he rented 10 rooms. Ya'll just have to watch te video shoot! There will be tears!

I've been emailed this a million times, but only just recently watched it. Is it just me, or did the girl NOT look happy in a lot of those photos toward the end? She seemed more sad than overcome with emotion.

That is BEAUTIFUL photography.
This is the most fabulous thing I've ever seen. All those roses and rose petals were breathtaking. And I love how involved all the family and friends were. Must have taken some SERIOUS planning to pull all that off.
That is one lucky girl.

I guess I'm the only one raining on the parade, but when I looked at the pictures, I figured this guy was some kind of rich mogul with lots of cash on hand. Then I read this:
"put his house up for rent and saved for her ring and this night"
Wait a minute, you're not rich? And GOD told you to take out ten rooms at the Ritz and buy a big diamond? How many thousands of dollars did you spend that could have been your next house, your kids' college fund, or even given to the church? Would this evening have been diminished if you'd gathered all her loved ones in ten rooms at the Holiday Inn? I'd love someone to do this for me IF HE COULD AFFORD IT. But if my man took a year to save up five figures and blew it all in one night...I'd think his economic judgment was not compatible with mine.
I know I can't say what God did or didn't tell anybody else to do. I wasn't there. But I think that if you get a message from God telling you to conspicuously consume, you should think about whether you've been watching too many diamond commercials.

THANK YOU!!! I was tryin' not to say anything, but honestly, this man seems so wasteful to me...after the engagement, what money do they have left for a wedding? A place to live? Shoot, he could've rented out a small section of the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, tricked the place out with Christmas lights and gathered their families there--the starlight would've made it just as beautiful. I wish them well, but it looks like they aren't getting married for a good few years after all this. I mean, I wouldn't have turned him down after all that, but I'd be pretty upset once the shock wore off.

How can we make judgments about what God did or did not tell this man to do? Seems like this judgment is based off of one sentence. We don't know the whole story, and we definitely don't know the effect that this video has had on all the people who see it. How do we know God wasn't using this couple to affect the lives of the thousands of people who view the video? It was definitely too extravagant for my taste, but that doesn't mean God didn't tell him to do it.

I'm sorry. I must have missed the memo that gave you and everyone else the right to criticize this man for what HE decides to do with HIS money.

i hope they stay together. im a huge marriage pessimist, but i would be embarassed as all hayle if it was me and there was a divorce. cause you know it would make the press, probably faster than the actual "dream" engagement did.
im sure it was sweet and all and the lady is lucky to have found such a man. but me still does a big ol to it all.
