Josh, the day we “met” didn’t give off the greatest first impression. But that second time was certainly a charm. Although we were young, I felt my heart flutter- you could say it was love at first sight. I knew you were special- I knew because when I was down, you would lift me up, and when I was happy you would laugh with me- something you’ve continued to do to this day. You’ve taught me there can be people who love purely, live beautifully, and laugh daily (even if it’s just at a Seinfeld joke). I look forward to many more years of holding your hand, sharing our hopes and dreams, standing by your side, and always being the sturdy pillar you may need to hold you up. In the musical words of Disney’s Mulan, you’re as tranquil as a forest, but with a fire within; you’re a man- as swift as a coursing river, you have the force of a great typhoon, the strength of a raging fire, and (sometimes) are as mysterious as the dark side of the moon. I promise to love you eternally- with all my heart and soul. I promise to be your faithful partner, even when you want a “Player 2” to hold a controller by your side, or to hold your hand. I promise to walk with you in sickness or in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse until the end of time. I also promise to clean up my dishes when I cook, let you hold the remote control every now and again, keep a cool head (no matter what my excuse may be), go on adventures with you without freaking out when we get lost, and scoop the cat box on trash day. I look forward to spending many years in our home with you, watching what children we may have grow and thrive, the world change and turn, and both our complexions become a little less smooth. I know our marriage will be as happy as can be, because admit it- we’re two of the funniest people we know, right? This is just the beginning-we’re stepping over the starting line and in the horizon is a new beautiful journey of life now shared by the main characters of our story: you and me until “the end”.

Thanks!
