A couple’s engagement photo has been widely shared online thanks to an onlooker's brilliant reaction to the proposal. Law student Jessica Rodriguez proposed to her girlfriend Chelsea Miller at the Art Institute of Chicago, with the romantic proposal captured by photographer Ed Sanchez Perry. The joyous reaction of a woman who witnessed the surprise proposal, seen in the background of the photo, has touched the heart of many on social media. Ms Rodriguez’s brother shared the photo on Twitter with the caption: “My sister proposed to her GF today and look at that older woman's reaction.” He told BuzzFeed News: “I am just so happy that a positive LGBT photo went viral. It’s not every day something like this has such [a] positive reaction [from] the general public.” He added: “The sweet woman had such a beautiful reaction. It’s absolutely amazing to see such love come from a bystander.” In an Instagram post, a delighted Jessica added: “Baby I lied, there's no gala. I brought you here because of our love for art. We enjoy travelling to museums, having artsy dates and even showcasing art about our baby in our own home. “If someone could describe our love it could only be done through a work of art. It is happy, fun, chaotic, inspiring and strong. I want to keep discovering art for the rest of my life by your side. “My friends were holding a sign in the gallery above that said, ‘Chelsea Miller will you marry me?’ A thousand thank yous.”

Excellent post-

WE HAVE KILLED MILLIONS OF INNOCENT SOULS! How can we expect God to save us? Look at ancient Israel; God sent them into slavery more than once for their sins...

If we are too proud to humble ourselves before God, Whom we threw out of our country, there is no hope for us.

We need to be free not to participate in homo activities and associations on the basis of faith. Other than that, I don’t care.
