ENGAGED: SHANDREKA JOHNSON TO MARCUS JONES

What a way to ring in 2015, with a beautiful New Year's day proposal. I was actually present to witness this lovely occasion. After an uplifting Watch Night service, I remember hearing whispers of, "He's about to propose, he's about to propose to Shan." I didn't catch it immediately until I saw Shandreka and Marcus' family and friends gathering together with their cameras to capture the proposal.

Marcus gave a very heartfelt speech leading up to the Big Question. He spoke of his grandmother (who is now at home with the Lord) and how she admonished Shandreka. Shandreka stood calmly, at first, listening to Marcus, then he got on his knee...

I am happy to share today's proposal story of such a wonderful couple. See how Shandreka reacted before her "yes" and find out more about their wonderful day.
