Tim's marriage proposal to Amanda

On a cool winter evening was the start of the rest of my and Amanda's life. I proposed to her on Friday, December 12, 2008 at Brookdale Covenant Church with this song entitled "Sunset", because to me and the many circumstances in my life, Amanda has been a sunset-- a breath of fresh air. It may sound sappy but I am twitterpated, and the other elements in this video (where she drops her mouth open looking down the aisle at the cue cards) reveal the two things that she has always said reminded her of me-- even when we were split up: Joshua 1:9 and Illinois license plates. But God had other things in store, and this is His story of two souls made for one another.

P.S. I never went to New York... I went to Jared

Special thanks to Mike the sound guy, Jessica, Angie, Will and my future in-laws! This would not have been possible without your contributions.


Sunset lyrics

Theres something about you, babe
I cannot put my finger on it
But I know Im in love
It could be Im blinded by the truth I see in your green eyes
Cause Im finding it hard to breathe

A smile so intoxicating, a sigh of sweet beauty
Has got me puttin' a thump in my step and a lump in my throat
So when we get down to it, were gonna make it through somehow
Somehow

Chorus:
In this foxhole with you, Im dodging bullets
For as long as we both shall live
In the line of lifes first fire, Ill lead you to a safe place
I wont leave you
Ill lead you to a sunset

I am simply amazed
By the grace thats taken us over and over again
Its like were flying and were floating

Oh I could never put down,
Ill try to bring the comfort of never-ending sweet bliss
Or a never-ending sweet kiss
And when we tend to disagree, Ill listen to the beauty of who you are
With my arms wrapped around you

(Chorus repeats)

Bridge:
Oh God, my God why have you never ever let the sun go down on us?
Were watching and were waiting
Color skies are never fading away as were

Moving forwards, only forwards
Standing still, it will be the greatest pause of our lifetime
When were running, lets be carefree
And well find something amazing

Youre full of life
Youre full of life
Amanda, youre full of life
Like a sunset (4x)
