The LU Student Who Couldn’t Get Married

Once upon a time on the campus of Liberty University, there was a student who lived on East Campus and studied missions.

He was very involved in many activities at L.U. He attended sporting events, plays, and even went to intramural games in hopes of finding a special someone.

But the most distressing of all was he was a senior and he wasn’t engaged. He wasn’t even dating. Gasp

So he thought to himself, “I need a wife. I’ve been here six years and haven’t found one yet. Any girl would be lucky to have me for a husband.”

He searched all over Facebook, and there he saw her. The Proverbs 31 woman. From her profile, he could tell she had been on many mission trips. She was a FACS major, and a prayer leader to boot. This was the girl of his dreams, the one he wanted to marry.

But she didn’t want anything to do with him.

The student really wanted to marry her, so he went to talk to his R.A. for advice. He knew for sure he could count on his R.A. for godly counsel. His R.A. encouraged him to listen in convo the next morning.

The dear Chancellor Dr. Falwell preached on dating and marriage that following Wednesday in Convocation. Afterwards, he felt called to reveal his vision of marriage to the young lady.

At first she was hesitant, but his convincing vision compelled her to go on with the engagement.

“Get everything arranged for the wedding,” The student told his R.A.

“This shall be a wedding this campus will never forget.”

The day of the wedding approached and the student was busy making as best the arrangements as he could at the Prayer Chapel.

They baked the cake.

They bought the dress.

They arranged the flowers.

They invited the guests.

When everything was ready, the student sent his R.A. to fetch the bride.

When the RA arrived, and he saw the girl his friend wanted to marry, he fell head over heels in love. She too fell in love with him. So the two walked hand in hand to the prayer chapel and were married.

Our student was so embarassed he never tried to marry again. Instead he devoted his life to helping the people of a remote tribal village in Zimbabwe.
