My Kind of Town

I'll be leaving in about a half hour to grab you from work and head to Chicago. I was suppose to propose to you tomorrow...you would have been pale from fear by today had I waited. We're trying to figure out venues today though I'm pretty sure it'll be the Gardens. Hopefully on Wedding Day, someone remembers to give me Claritin.

I also started going through the preparation for marriage book today. It talks about how in marriage, we have to accept each other by faith, knowing that God has called us together--this despite our differences and imperfections...well my imperfections anyway. We all know that you're perfect, deer. ;)

And I think that when I made that decision, that I wanted you to be my wife, God gave me great faith in that promise. God called us together and will hold us together. His hands formed the world and so can hold us to Him by the promise and commitment we will make to one another--our covenant before a Holy God.

I don't expect easy, but I expect blessing and grace in our lives. I will watch over and protect you as my wife every day of my life. You are precious and amazing, the answer to prayer I've been waiting for all my life, the rose in full bloom, the light in my heart. You are mine and I love you and that is forever. You are a promise and a treasure and I will also cherish you, always be the man you need me to be. I am your beloved. You will always know that and feel tha. I love you darling.
