Message

Fiance,

You wrote me a note the other week and this message was so thoughtful and wonderful of you that I want to write it here so I never forget.  Thank you!

Here's what you wrote:


Nick~

I just want you to know why you are the perfect man for me!

You love Jesus!
You love me!
You try so hard to make me happy but don't give in to everything, you tell me no when I need it.
You like it when I sing to you!
You put up with me when I'm crying for no reason.
You eat my cooking and claim to like it.
You not only tell me but show me you love me everyday.
You are adventurous.
You are thrifty & resourceful.

I love you.

Dinner

Sonrisa,

Thank you for having dinner with me at work.

You work 12 and a half hours, and instead of rushing out the door, you come see me in my office and have dinner with me.  You have even stayed a few hours on certain nights!

I really appreciate how much you love me and how much effort you put into our relationship.  You are truly a special person.  I am incredibly lucky to have you love me like you do.

Time

Tiffany,

You are such a strong person.  I am lucky to have you in my life because I learn to be a better person from you.  Today I learned restraint.  You are so passionate about life and people!

You deserve the best of everything. Most of all, you deserve to be happy.  What I'd like in our lives is time.  I love spending time with you, and someday we will be spending time together not just as lovers, but as parents.  I love our time now - alone - but being a parent will be like nothing else in the world.  I want for us and our family to live our lives fully for each other, our loved ones, God, and I want us to be a voice for the voiceless and hope for the hopeless.

Thank you for taking the journey we call life with me!  I am truly blessed beyond understanding.

Wedding

I’m so grateful for your patience, especially with me.  Thank you for being a kind, strong woman of God who knows when to whip me into shape and knows when I need some grace.

You have been so wonderful through the whole wedding planning process.  Other people who have gotten married complained how much work it is, how hard planning is, how “everything changes once you’re engaged”…

But I haven’t seen that with us.  You handle stress so well.  You have done thing for the wedding little by little, not letting anything build up.  I am grateful for you and all the work you’ve done.  In general, the whole process has been enjoyable.  I enjoy doing things together and even though we’ve had passing stressful moments, I haven’t felt the process has been “work” or “hard” or that “everything changes”.


You bring joy into my life!  I love you.
