Dear future husband,
Less than five years ago, I had everything planned out. Do good in school, get a few friends I could hang out with when I’m bored, make my parents proud. Having a boyfriend wasn’t a part of that plan. I considered men distractions and truthfully, I didn’t really think I had the physical attributes to make anyone look twice. When we were classmates, I was considered weird and I probably looked the part too.
You, on the other hand, had a girlfriend. So considering other girls was definitely out of the question. You were the classroom jester who also happened to be one of the handfuls who also had the brains to boot.
I admired you from afar. You were at ease with people, the exact same way I wasn’t. You make people laugh and I know as much as anyone else that I don’t (unless when I become a clumsy idiot or an obnoxious fool which doesn’t make me comfortable at all). I love your sense of humor and the way you look particularly awesome when you wear those eyeglasses. I didn’t expect anything since you weren’t a part of my plan and I didn’t really think the admiration was mutual.
But the unexpected happened. You, who were everything else I wasn’t, fell in love with me. And I reciprocated the feelings. It’s amazing isn’t it? How the years made us stronger, better, even more in love. How we fought side by side, standing beside each other through thick and thin, how we did what everyone didn’t expect to happen. We lasted this long.
Everything that we’ve been through has been anything but easy. You remember them don’t you? The long fights. The death threats. People telling us what we have isn’t worth crap. But I’m glad I didn’t give up. I’m glad you didn’t give up. Thank you so much for the love, for making me feel that it’s okay to be myself, for making me feel like my imperfections are something that makes you love me even more.
Being with you gives me so much happiness and what I have with you is something I want to last for our entire lifetime. I know that no matter what, meeting you and falling in love with you, is something I will never regret because it was on the day that you became a part of my life that it started to make sense.
I love you. I love you so much. And I could go on writing about these beautiful feelings for you for as long as words exist and language has meaning.
Happy 4th anniversary. <3
Love,
your future wife.
