Dear Future Husband,

I don’t know who you are yet. I have an idea of the kind of guy I would like you to be like, but in this life, there are no guarantees.

Before you promise to love me for a lifetime, there are a few things you should know.

There are going to be times when loving me isn’t easy. I’m sorry in advance. There will be days when I will be crabby and I will likely take it out on you. There will be times I will try and pick fights over the silliest things. I will always believe I am right and I will not stop until you admit that you are wrong. Just learn early on to agree with me and move on.

Just remember that I still love you.

There will be times that I am sad. This could last minutes or days, who knows. There might not even always be reason for my sadness. I am asking you to still be there for me. Be patient with me. I need you to pick me back up and make me feel better. I guarantee even just a hug from you can do wonders. You are my rock. I need you.

Just remember you still have my heart.

But there are going to be so many more good times. I cannot wait for our entire lives together. I can’t wait to smile thinking about the little things you do to show you love me like put your hand on my knee while you drive and kiss my forehead. I can’t wait to wake up every morning next to you. I can’t wait to raise our kids together. I can’t wait to have dinner waiting for you when you get home from a long day at work.

Always remember I will do anything for you.

I hope you are just as excited as I am to adopt our first puppy (key word first, there will be many). I hope you will still watch chick flicks with me when we are old and bored. I hope you never stop looking at me the way you did when we first met. I hope I still give you butterflies the same way you will always give me goosebumps.

Please remember I will always be crazy about you.

You should also know my favorite food is mac and cheese, I love to sleep in and take naps, and puppies (or anything cute really) make me cry. If I am mad at you, it can almost always be fixed with a chocolate milkshake or some cheese fries. But I promise you will learn those things on your own. Oh yeah, and make sure you get on my dad’s good side. That will make things a lot easier for both of us.

Thank you for everything you have done for me already. Thank you for putting up with me long enough that we could get to this point. I know I am not perfect. I know I have a history. But you kept your faith in me all along. You still saw something in me that was worth loving and you never let go, even at my worst. Thank you. I promise to be the best wife for you that you could ever wish for.

Love you most,

Your future wife
