Dear future husband or wife,

I don’t know who you are, or maybe I do, but I’m going to love you someday. I’m going to be in love with you. Who knows, maybe I already love you as a friend. I’m going to really love you though with all my heart and soul, and I pray you will reciprocate the feelings.

Our love story will most likely be ordinary. We meet, become friends, develop feelings that we will ignore until one of us is brave enough to tell the other how we feel. Then we will date, for a while, someone will propose, get married, and have a family with lots children and dogs and cats! We will live in a nice home, nothing too big, raise our kids, retire, and spend our free days in each others company. People will say “they’re such a lovely couple,” but again nothing too extraordinary. We will live nice, simple lives and we will love so much.

Nothing is ever that easy though is it? Anyone who knows me will tell you “nice and simple” just isn’t my style. I may be a little bit crazy, but in a good way I promise. I’m insecure, I get angry and jealous, and I cry, like a lot. Sometimes I’m stubborn and hard headed — ok fine, maybe a little more than sometimes, but hey, I’m only human. I curse a lot too, more often then I probably should. Nobody’s perfect, right? Occasionally, I will do things just to start a fight because if you fight back, it means you care enough to try.

I’m not perfect, but neither are you. You’re perfect for me though. Despite all my flaws, and inevitably yours as well, I will love you so deeply. That is the one thing I can promise you. I can’t promise that it will be all sunshine and rainbows all the time. Where’s the fun in that anyway? I can promise you that it will be one crazy, fun, loving journey. A journey that I can’t wait to take. Actually, I can wait, because I know there is a reason I don’t know who you are yet. I don’t know what that reason is, but I trust that when the time is right the universe will bring us together.

One last thing before I go. No matter how much pain and heartache I have to go through before I find you, it’ll all be worth it when I can finally hold the love of my life in my arms and know that you are mine, forever.

Love,

Your future wife
