Since the moment you entered my life, you have changed it for the better and enhanced my world. You have made me feel more special than I have ever felt in my entire life, and given me moments that I will treasure forever. You have opened up your heart and mind to me, and allowed me to become a part of your life. You have shown me what love is, and what it is like to truly be loved by someone. Because of you and your love, I have found something wonderful inside of me, the ability to give my heart to someone. You have helped me to learn that I want you in my life forever, and that you are someone that I cannot live without. I am so very grateful to have met you, gotten to know you, and to have fallen in love with you. You have been a wonderful gift to me, and I thank God for you everyday.

I am so unbelievably happy that our time has come to be joined as husband and wife. I know that this will be an important step in our lives, not only with each other, but in our lives with God as well. I look forward to the times we will spend together, both the good and the bad, as they will help us to grow and learn to appreciate each other more. I hope that we will always be open and honest with each other in all aspects of our lives. I hope that we can always count on each other, in everyday routines and in times of need. I hope that we will continue to share the same values.

I know you are my present and my future, and that is better than any hope or expectation that I could have. I have dreams and hopes for the future, and they will be happy as long as you are by my side. I want to fall asleep with you, wake up next to you, laugh with you, and cry with you…I want to grow old with you.

A new chapter in our lives has just opened, and I can't wait to see how it's going to end. I promise to support you in every aspect of our lives, to be faithful to you, and most of all to love you always. You are my every dream come true.
