Even though I have no idea who you are yet, I cannot wait until the day I begin spending the rest of my life with you. I can only imagine how awesome you must be and how cool our life together will be. You are somebody I pray for daily. I truly hope that God is currently forming you into the godly man he wants you to be for me while he is shaping me into the godly woman he wants me to be for you.

On the day, we say “I Do,” I want you to know that you won’t be receiving just one ring, but two. One, of course, will be your wedding band, but the other will be my purity ring. I want you to know that I have been waiting for you. Yes, I have made mistakes in my past that I am not proud of, but I decided a long time ago that I was going to save this one special gift just for you.

I remember in the sixth grade going to a super awkward purity conference. I kind of only did this because my parents wanted me to, and I guess it was to mark something off my check list of “Christian duties” at the time. It was in the eighth grade, however, when this purity thing actually began to have real meaning to me. Despite being in a Christian home my whole life, I did not become a true believer in Jesus Christ until then. Living this Christian life was no longer about making myself look better, but it was now about bringing glory to the Lord in everything that I did. This is when I realized how serious that purity topic actually is. So, I decided to go out and buy myself a purity ring.

That purity ring to this day does not come off of my finger. It is a constant reminder every day of the promise I have made to myself, to my future husband and also to God. This ring has been with me during my toughest times. It’s been on during unhealthy past relationships, heartbreaks, temptations, struggles and mockery. It has been on through great times as well. It’s been on during prom, graduation, move-in day for my freshman year of college and countless other moments and experiences.

I say this to let you know that this ring has so much more meaning to me than you will probably realize. It may be just a band that says “True Love Waits,” but to me, when I give this ring to you it means I am giving you my heart. I spend every day trying to guard my heart for you, and this ring is a symbol of that. So, as I give you these two rings on our wedding day, I ask that you please treat them of equal value. One is a symbol of our marriage and the other a symbol of my heart. So, until that day, I am praying for you, and I can only hope that you have been waiting for me also.

Love always,

Your Future Wife
