After mass this evening, Nathan and I decided to ask Fr. Lariviere to bless our engagement and my ring. We have been meaning to do this, but with both of our busy schedules we kept putting it off. Finally, after being engaged for a month we decided we could not wait any longer. We spoke with Father after mass and he offered to get his Book of Blessings and do a formal engagement blessing.
We stood in front of the statue of the Blessed Mother and I handed my ring to Nathan. Fr. Lariviere blessed it and then Nathan placed the ring back on my finger. It was a beautiful moment and such a wonderful thing to do. After receiving my newly blessed ring, he blessed our engagement.
After leaving the church, I had an amazing feeling. It was so beautiful to know that our engagement had officially been blessed and that our love will continue to grow with God in the center of our lives and that the Blessed Mother will continue to guide us.
