Dear future husband,
(And no this not inspired by Meghan Trainor's song) Who are you? And how are you? I don’t know if you will ever read this, or all the other letters I wrote to you when I was bored. But give me a moment to explain myself.
First of all, I hope that you are a humble man of God. I hope that you love God and love the church more than you love me.
I’m currently at work and stressing out about classes (and about writing these articles), but I find myself thinking of you. Lately, I’ve actually been thinking of you often. Some of my friends say they can't wait for me to get married, but hey, find me a boyfriend first!
I feel like there is this weird pressure, not too heavy but not too light, that I need to have a significant other, or at least be interested in someone. I’m 20 (and a half!) and I’ve never even had my first kiss! I could imagine you’re probably laughing at how lame I was.
It might seem lame to some people. But I am happy I’ve never “dated” someone because of social stigmas and pressures. I hope you are the special someone who will change my status from ‘single’ to ‘in a relationship’, and from ‘in a relationship’ to ‘married.’
This might seem cheesy and cringe-worthy to some people, but I hope that you are my first kiss and my last, and that you are the only person I will have fallen in love with. But, here’s what you need to know about me first.
I will not open up to you very quickly. I may seem to be an outgoing social butterfly, but that’s only the outside. People may think that they know me, but no one really knows me besides my family and maybe 3 of my closest friends.
But, whoever you are, I must’ve liked you that much that I let you know who I really am. No one but my family and closest friends have ever heard me sing, seen me dance, watched me act, and heard me laugh my hardest.
I expect that you understand the 5 different love languages and how I love people:
- Gifts
- Quality Time
Self-explanatory. But, now you will understand why I will shower you with expensive gifts and want to go on adventures 24/7 whether we're just friends or actually a thing.
So, when I meet you (or if I have already met you) I expect we may become best friends.
Or, I imagine that I will run into you at a random spot in NYC at the perfect moment when either one of our lives are at the hardest point it has ever been in, and we run into each other again and again. But, when do our imaginations really come to life?
Anyways, no matter how/when we meet, I will never forget it. I will never forget when we start courting. I will never forget the day I realize God decided I was meant for you. I will never forget the day we become one.
Lastly, even though I might fangirl over Dylan O’Brien forever, I will be always your #1 fan.
Sincerely,
Your Future Wife
