    1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.

    4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

    13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

    Without love, you can have no faith. Without love there is no hope……Love binds it together because it is a choice……at least that is what I think…..Congrats! And I wish you both many years of happiness and joy…..

You were so nervous and calm at the same time, and she seemed genuinely shocked! “Are we really here for the surfer guy?” Hilarious! Did you sleep at all the night before? Bet not!

    A million Congratulations to you both! Looking forward to a vlogged wedding (come one! You gotta!)

    Ah! I think I’m in love with both of you.

    And thanks for having her film you because I think that the popper of the question is rarely focused on or shown so truly as opposed to the one to whom the question is being popped.

    How precious Josh.

    I dont know if you remember me but I’m the fervent atheist in Ann Arbor. I posted a video for the first time, my attempt at the vlogging. I need to figure out how to compress my videos better. I’m sure that will all come in time. Anyway I’d be touched if you checked me out.

    Hi Josh, I don’t have the pleassure to know you, but yet I’d like to congratulate you two for such a big step you’re about to take… Now I need to ask you if it’s anything wrong or inconvenience on posting this video on youtube, since this is something today’s couples are often cutting off their routines, I though it would be interesting to see what some peolple out there have to say, so, I guess it’s up to you now! PLEASE say YES! Thank you…
