We're Going to Need Some "& Guests"

The future Mrs. Johnston with her fiancé, Sky

WASHINGTON - Hearts broke in multiple hemispheres last week when Sky Johnston, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary '12, dropped down on one knee and asked southern belle Virginia Keen Wing, SBTS '10, to be his bride. Though she was momentarily too surprised to make any audible sound, Wing recovered with an enthusiastic "Yes!"

"I liked it, so I put a ring on it," said Johnston.

Wing is a 5th grade instructor at the Ambrose School in Boise, Idaho, and is known to be extremely excitable during the Christmas season. She enjoys the holiday so much that she has been rumored to play Christmas music for her students in the classroom as early as September. With an early present sparkling on her left hand and a promise in her heart, Wing will have more than jingle bells to celebrate this year. Break out the mistletoe, kids, it's going to be a party!

"I didn't believe that any men like him existed . . . but here he is!" gushed Wing.

Sources close to the bride-to-be knew that Johnston had distinguished himself from Wing's former suitors when they began receiving text messages over the summer likening the pair's budding relationship to mountain biking downhill at top speed without brakes. Though there's always a significant element of mystery and providence involved in matters of the heart, it was clear early on that the life Johnston was inviting Wing to join was an adventure she wouldn't be able to resist.
