To The Man I Marry

I dreamed plenty times of the look we would exchange as I made my journey down the aisle with my father at my side.

To the Man I Marry,

I have waited, planned, and dreamed every day of my whole life for this, which some people these days would say is pathetic, but I am a hopeless romantic. I have thought long about the characteristics you possess and why I deserve a man as perfect as you. As I stood in the chambers waiting for my entrance, I would toast those who could not join us with my dad. The music will sound, but tradition says to keep the man waiting. I would be pacing behind those closed doors in my something borrowed, blue, old and new until the time came for me to enter. Every epic detail of our wedding may have seemed important to me (sorry if I was intolerable some days), however, but the greatest detail of all is my company at the Alter-- and of course, the cake.

I dreamed plenty times of the look we would exchange as I made my journey down the aisle with my father at my side, and I would give smiles and giggles to family members and life-long friends in the audience. I would hand my flowers to my sister, and the other would present me with your ring that would signify our loving bind to each other.

I hope our marriage consists of a great balance. The sensor of our thoughts or feelings should not exist. I hope when hardship is presented to us, we remain united. I promise to be the best I can be. Our past relationships matter only from a learning perspective. To say I have no regrets when it came to my past would not be entirely truthful, however I am forever grateful because it brought me to you.

The vows I take are forever. No exceptions. I have learned and had unconditional love, and that is what I intend to give to both you and our children. I hope our children learn by example that love is the greatest thing to feel for a person for it means that they are capable of anything. When things go wrong as they sometimes do, never fear to come to me, and I will never fear to come to you. Together we can take on anything, and that’s what I vow to do. Always.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
