A dad caused a bit of a stir online after giving his 20-year-old daughter a purity ring in a rather unconventional way.
Patrick and his daughter,
Sarah, are self-proclaimed Christian content creators who make videos about
their religion, beliefs, and father-daughter relationship under the username
@justadadandhisladybug.
However, viewers were stunned
at Patrick's decision to show his daughter how "proud" he was that
she'd remained "pure" throughout her life.
"We got something special
for you," Patrick declared to his followers. He explained that he was
about to surprise Sarah with a purity ring but wanted to do it in a special
way. Apparently, that meant getting on one knee as if it were a marriage
proposal.
In the video on his now-private
account, he hurriedly added that it wasn't going to be an actual marriage proposal
but just a way to show his daughter that he was proud of her for keeping her
"purity" intact.
Walking into his daughter's
room, Patrick instructed her to stand up because he wanted to give her
something. Getting out of bed, she stood before her dad as he got down on one
knee and presented her with the purity ring.
"First of all, you're 20
years old, and most kids your age are not pure," Patrick said to his
daughter.
"Well, I want to thank you
for being here and give you something.
"Sarah, will you wear this
ring as a sign and a promise to God and to me to remain pure until the day
you're married?"
"Yes," she replied,
then peered closely at the ring before adding, "That's gorgeous."
Putting the ring on her left
hand, in the same place that an engagement ring would go, Patrick explained
that she was to keep the purity ring on that finger until the day her husband
replaced it with another ring.
The video has sparked mixed
reactions, causing the father to put his account on private.
