A young couple got engaged at a Coldplay concert in London last Friday. But this sweet moment came with a twist that shows just how messed up our culture has become. The whole thing happened because of a corporate cheating scandal that rocked the business world just last month.
Back in July, two high-powered executives got caught having an affair on the kiss cam at another Coldplay show. Andy Byron was the CEO of Astronomer, a big tech company. He was cheating on his wife with Kristin Cabot, who ran human resources at his company.
The whole country watched these two destroy their families on live television. Byron had to step down from his job in shame. This is what happens when people throw away their wedding vows and moral values for cheap thrills.
Fast forward to Friday night at Wembley Stadium. A young man held up a sign asking to propose to his girlfriend on the big screen. But singer Chris Martin wasn’t taking any chances after the last disaster.
Martin stopped everything and started asking questions. He wanted to make sure this couple was actually together and not pulling another cheating stunt. The crowd laughed as he asked if they were related or even real people.
After his funny security check, Martin gave the green light. The man got down on one knee and asked his girlfriend to marry him. She said yes, and the whole stadium cheered.
Here we see the difference between right and wrong played out for everyone. One couple chose lies and betrayal while destroying their families. The other chose commitment and love in front of thousands of witnesses.
This is exactly what America needs more of today. Real love, real commitment, and people who keep their promises. Maybe this young couple can show the rest of us what marriage is really supposed to look like.
