I spent so many years thinking I was somehow behind the rest of the world… And then, there you were. An answer to a prayer I had spoken silently so long ago—a man who is everything I ever wanted. Being with you feels like walking into a house and knowing you’re home. I feel so lucky to have met you and grateful that we chose to hold on to what we found.”

This journey that we’re on has already challenged us as a couple to work through hardships and obstacles and to become stronger in our communication, our commitment, and our love. It has been the most significant growth I have ever had for myself by far as a partner. Our relationship is full of more love and support than I could ever ask for. I have never been more adored or felt safer, and the trust we have built that we have worked so hard to protect is invaluable. So, thank you for being supportive through all the years we have been together. Thank you for the love, the happiness, and every touching moment we’ve shared since the second you walked into my life.”

Although I never told you, it didn’t take long to know that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I love the way you care not only for me but for everyone around you. I admire how hard you work to help others, and above all, I love how you love me.

You’ve taught me things and opened my eyes to see life differently and clearly. You’ve shown me the meaning of love and simultaneously made me so emotional yet intense. You forever have my heart, soul, and hand as we journey through this chapter called life together. I promise to love you, respect you, and cherish you forever.
