Jonathan and Joelle

Jonathan was very interested in marriage a couple months ago. In particular, he wanted to know whether he could marry Mae, or perhaps Mommy. So Daddy explained that he had to marry someone outside the family. "Who's not in our family?" he asked.

The first girl we thought of was Joelle, who attends the same church we do. He thought he'd like to marry her, so Daddy said, "When you're older, you can ask her to marry you."

And he did ask her when he was older -- just a few days older. The next Sunday at church, when Joelle arrived, he walked right to her and popped the question. He then walked back and sat down in front of Daddy to play with some blocks on the floor. He casually remarked, "She said 'yes.'"

Daddy, having forgotten about the marriage discussion of a few days prior, said, "She said 'yes' about what?"

Jonathan replied, "She said she'll marry me."

That was 9 July 2006. Since then, they've been a cute couple. Joelle has knocked back at least one other suitor, and Jonathan looks forward to Sundays. They've had one "date" so far, at a nearby indoor playground.

Below is a picture of the young couple:
