Dear Future Hubby,

I wanted to start off by saying I am surprised and thrilled that I actually will eventually find someone to put up with me. I know I am not perfect but I just wanted to thank you ahead of time for loving me unconditionally.

Ever since I was a little girl and I started to plan my dream wedding with just about every teen heartthrob out there, I have always dreamt of what my husband would be like. Would he be funny? How will my family like him? What does he hope to do with his life? I have always had so many questions and even today, at the age of 19, I am so curious about you.

I hope you’re out there pursuing your dreams and becoming a better person every day. It is such an abstract feeling and thought that I might not have even met you yet, or maybe I have. Maybe you were some kid in my class in high school, or maybe I met you in college and didn’t think anything of it. Whenever/however I meet you, though, I will be glad I did.

There are a couple of things I want to share with you that I am so excited for. I am excited to start our relationship and see where it takes us. There are so many things that can change over the course of the years we are together and I am beyond excited to see what is in store for our journey.

I am excited to mesh our lives into one. Before we meet, we will have two completely separate lives, and I am so excited to join our families, hopes and dreams. I am excited for you to become a part of my big, crazy family, and I am excited to become a part of yours. I will support you no matter what your dreams are, and I hope you achieve all the goals you have set for yourself, as I am sure you will feel the same about mine.

I am excited to start my life with you and start a family. I’ve always known that I’ve wanted kids – and lots of them. I can’t wait to have little people who are a half me and a half you. I know they will be some good looking kids with awesome heads on their shoulders. You are going to be an amazing father.

I am excited to travel the world with you. There is nothing I want more than to travel the world with the man I love. There is so much out there to experience and do, and doing it with your best friend seems like the best way to enjoy it.

I am excited to be able to come home to you after a long day at work and watch a movie and enjoy a glass of wine. There is nothing more relaxing than that. I look forward to all the special, spontaneous date nights we will have doing all of our favorite things and trying new ones along the way. I am excited for the little things in our life.

I know that our relationship won’t be perfect because no relationship is easy, but I know that we will fight to make it the best relationship we can. Marriage is tough but if we really want it to work, there is not stopping us.

Lastly, I want to say a preemptive thank you for everything you will do for me. Thank you for the future laughs, hugs, kisses, dinners, dates, kids, houses, experiences and unconditional love you will give me. I am so happy that God has a plan for me, and I am so glad He included you.

Love always,

Your Future Wife
