Dear Stephanie

This morning I woke up and it's our wedding day.

We've been together almost 8 years. We're best friends and I can still remember the first time I really saw you.

I'm going to put my suit on, fix my tie, shine my shoes and take that one deep breath. But before I do all of that I want you to know that although our status will change, nothing else will. We got to this place because of who we are together and how we've grown to appreciate each other. Our strangest virtue is our ability to see each other for exactly who we are and love what that is.

I'll always protect you, cherish you, and find the warmth and comfort in the smallest things you do.

If I could choose again . . .I'd still choose you.

I love you . . . my wife.
