In the above photo, Joe Rigert and Alice Reville pose for a photo shortly after getting engaged this past Saturday. Joe and Alice, who currently live in Durham, met while they were students at Guilford College. So, when Joe planned the perfect proposal, his alma mater immediately came to mind. The plan was to attend a basketball game at Guilford and to walk around campus before the game. As they approached the lake, Joe would drop to his knees and propose.
In Greensboro, Saturday started out overcast and gray, but about the time the couple left Durham for the drive over, clouds parted and the sun filled the sky. Standing by the lake on the wooded part of campus, at exactly 12:30 p.m. and exactly as planned, Joe kneeled and proposed. Alice said, "Yes! Yes!" with her answer carrying across the lake. How wonderful to know that this romantic, storybook moment took place in our lovely community. Joe and Alice, we wish you a lifetime of wonderful moments, planned and unplanned.
I wish them a life time of happiness together.
