It was Valentine’s Day 2009. Brent suggested that they go to the movies to see “He’s Just Not That Into You.” They arrived early and settled in to watch the movie. But first the adverts !
They sat through a few ads taking little notice and then one seemed to attract Kayleen’s attention. Several segments were shown in different languages and seemed to involve words of love being spoken between couples. Kayleen thought that was nice to have on Valentine’s Day. Suddenly her eyes were riveted to the screen as some English words appeared “Kayleen will you marry me?” A myriad of emotions flooded through her. She turned to her boyfriend Brent, who at this stage was on his knee. People throughout the cinema strained to catch a glimpse of this very public proposal.
Kayleen and Brent never really knew what happened in the movie they were so excited. They were pleased when it ended so that they could share the happy news with family and friends. Exactly one year later at Banora Point, just over the Queensland border in New South Wales, I had the pleasure of pronouncing them husband and wife after which the music of Taylor Swift’s “Two Became One” reverberated across the waters as they signed their certificates – the first task in beginning their married life together.
