Dear Future Husband,

I may not know who you are yet, or I may be with you right now. In any case, I cannot wait to become your wife.

Being yours forever will be a title that I am proud to hold. It's something that I have waited forever to become. I won't take that for granted. I promise.

I can only hope that my niece and nephews like you, and that they call you "uncle", as connecting with them is a rite of passage. If they like you, I have to marry you. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

I hope that you understand everything about me that makes me who I am. If you don't quite have a handle on it, I hope that you try.

I hope you know that I spent many nights of my teenage years praying for a love like the one I have with you. My early twenties were spent wishing, wondering when my time would come to experience such things. I hope that you, at some point, wished for me.

I hope that you can make me laugh, so hard and so much that I am overcome with joy over how happy you make me.

I hope that we fight. Truly, I do. I hope that we have moments where we see each other's true colors but love each other all the more afterward.

I hope that we experience happiness together, but I hope that we experience sadness together too, as it is in those dark moments that we will need each other more than ever. I need to know that I can count on you just as you can count on me.

I hope that you want to be my husband just as much as I want to be your wife.
