We got engaged at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in the Our Lady Queen of Missions chapel. We both have a strong devotion to Our Lady, specifically through praying the rosary. This devotion has strengthened our love and given us many graces. After the proposal, we consecrated our relationship to Jesus through Mary with the prayer seen below. We've been praying it as we prepare for October 12th. Please join us in prayer as we ask Jesus, Mary, and Joseph to be with us as we approach the sacrament!

Holy Mary our Mother, today, each day and in our last hour we entrust ourselves entirely to your loving and singular care. We place in your hands our entire hope and happiness, our every anxiety and difficulty, our whole lives. May our every endeavor be directed and guided according to the Will of Your Son, which is your will – by the aid of your prayers and special favor with God. Amen.
