E-Journal Post

I was looking on my E-Journal, and I found this. This is when I was trying to write the perfect words in a love letter that Dave and I exchanged before our wedding. This helped me feel that really excited and less jittery. Enjoy!

What is the single greatest thing about the person you are going to marry?

The single greatest thing about Dave is his unconditional love for me. His love for me is so pure and so intense. His love for me radiates. And everyone can feel it. I've had friends tell me that they hope to someday meet someone that loves them as much as Dave loves me. Because he loves me so much, I know I can always be myself. He takes me for messy, happy, silly, sad, creative, artistic, quirky, running late, however I am. He loves me, and lets me be me. I haven't always felt comfortable in my own skin, and his love and acceptance of who I am has carried me to truly learn how to self-love. That alone is the greatest gift a person can give another.

When did you know that you were in love/ know that this person was the one you wanted to marry?

I knew I loved him the moment he left for Europe. I knew that I trusted him, and cared deeply for him. I knew I wanted to marry him, probably this last June. We had been arguing, and in the depth of the pain, when I wanted to give up, I couldn't imagine my life without him.

What does marriage mean to you? Why do you want to be a married person?

Marriage bonds two compatible souls together for eternity. I want to be married, because I want my forever and eternity to be with Dave. Through everything life may throw at us, I'm stuck to him like gorilla glue. I'm not going anywhere.

What is the most important thing you want to promise to your partner? What is the promise you most want to hear from them? (For example, it might be really important to you to promise that you will always respect them. Or you might really want them to promise their eternal fidelity.)

I want to promise my eternal love and respect to him. There is nothing he could do to make me not love him, as I am an unconditional person. I want him to promise me the same. 

What will change about your relationship once you are married? What will stay the same?

The intensity and sweetness of our love will ripen with age. It will only get better. I hope we never lose our sense of adventure, or our sense of happiness and laughter.

What is your most favorite memory of your partner?

There have been so many beautiful little moments and big moments, in our relationship together. But I would have to say that my favorite memory was going to Cirque Du Soleil in Pheonix, and having our own mini vacation. We laughed, and ate, and drank, and were amazed together, and we just had so much fun together. 

When you were little, did you dream of your wedding day or your future spouse? How does that vision match up (or not) with your sweetheart?

I always knew I would fall in love deeply, and marry my soulmate. As most little girls, I imagined the scenery, and the vows, and the perfect kiss, but I always knew that the person I married would be my perfect half.
