Dear Future Husband,
How's it cookin' good lookin'? I am not really sure if we have met yet if we have that would be pretty cool. Maybe you were that guy I bumped into at Starbucks a few days ago. Or maybe you are a thousand miles away traveling the world. I could have possibly swiped left on you while browsing tinder. What if you were the little boy that pulled my hair in Mrs. Neason's kindergarten class? If so, I hope you have put the glue bottle down by now.
On a positive note, I have our entire wedding planned on Pinterest. I know many people who read this will think that is utterly insane and that I should not even be worried about marriage right now. In their eyes, I am still a young girl who does not know what she really wants, but that isn't true. I know I want you. Yes, I should be worrying about school, living my twenties, and my career right now. But let's be serious, I have been thinking about this since I was little. It is just that now I have my mind on what it is I truly want out of you. Don't worry this article is not about the material things I want from you, that does not matter to me.
There are a few things you should know before marrying me, though.
I will not always stay on my side of the bed because let's just face it, your side is so much better than mine. Your mom may be a better cook than me, hopefully, she can teach me a few pointers, though. I also will not promise to not clog our shower drain with hair. I am the woman you love, get over it.
Please do not ever worry about giving me everything I ever wanted. There is a significant difference between want and need. I will always want some of those things, but I will always need you.
I have been told that about 40 to 50 percent of marriages end in divorce in the United States. I am here to tell you that we will not be apart of those percentages. You just can't give up on someone you love. I will never give up on you or our marriage, I hope you will do the same. I know it sounds cheesy to say that we took a vow in marriage, but it's true. No marriage is going to be perfect. There are going to be nights you want to poison my wine and there will be days I want to run you over with the lawn mower. This is totally normal. Strong marriages are built on those bad days.
I cannot wait for the amazing days, though. Like the days we dance to an old song in the kitchen of our really crappy apartment, get lost on our first road trip, or the day we bring our first child into the world. That day will replace our best days in an instant. You are going to be a better father than you could ever be my husband and that is perfectly fine with me.
You will always be my best friend, sweet husband. Always know that as we grow older, my heart will flutter just as much as it did on the first date. Remember to always kiss me goodbye because it was a kiss that started it all.
See you soon,
Your Future Wife.
