#4 Eddie and Dawn Hill





Eddie and Dawn Hill



How we met – Eddie was leading worship with my mom, Linda Barrett. One Sunday morning back when the church was on Hacienda, after seeing that Eddie had brought and orange to eat for breakfast, she invited him over for a real breakfast. I was only 13 years old at the time. Who could have known God’s plan for the two of us.



How Eddie proposed – To set the stage, you would have to know that Eddie and I dated for almost 3 years and we knew that we were going to get married; we were just waiting for me to graduate from high school. I had asked Eddie to marry me lots of times and he would say,”You can’t ask me I have to ask you.” We were at my parent’s house sitting on the couch and he asked me, “Dawn will you marry me?” and I said very flippantly yes. He said “No, I’m asking you, will you marry me?” Seeing that this was for real, he was proposing, I soberly said yes. He went on to tell me how he would do all he could to be the best husband and father he could be. He made me cry, I wish I had a recording of what he said, because it was so incredibly sweet!
