She shared the nice words he said to her, she remembered them exactly, then he got down on one knee.
In front of the classroom ...
... looking up at my daughter.
[There is so much going on here in this tradition of a moment.]
We get down on one knee in church and in front of royalty, but why does a man do it in do it before the woman he loves? And why should we hold on tight to this well known tradition?
The origin of this religious tradition is unknown, but like I said, the action itself has been around for centuries. Catholics bend on one knee as a sign of respect toward the tabernacle before taking their seats for the Mass. Knights bend down on one before the king when being knighted and when presenting themselves in a show of honor to royalty. In war, the losing party would kneel in front of the army who won the battle in surrender.
Respect. Honor. Surrender. Those are the reasons behind the bended knee in a marriage. As a sign of respect, the man lowers himself as an act of humility before the woman he desires to spend the rest of his life with. - Chastity Project
Brooke had a spotlight shined on her as this boy, a Senior, her 1st googly-eyed crush in life, bravely singles her out in front of others.He asks, "Will you do me the honor of going to Prom with me?"
Well done, sweet boy. Thank you for making my daughter feel beautiful and so special.
Brooke shared the rest of the room loved the scene as well.
A moment she will remember I am certain as much as Prom.
All girls want to feel beautiful. I'm excited for her Cinderella moment of slipping into a gown, flowers presented to her, and heading out for an evening of dancing with the boy who has her heart.
Thank you Alex for making a special moment for my little girl.
She said, "Of course!"
