Last year I found myself hanging out with people who didn't bring anything good to my life. But then you walked in and helped change that.

You showed me that I didn't deserve people who were going to try to bring me down, and people who were trying to peer pressure me into doing things that I didn't wanna do. You didn't catch my eye at first but I certainly caught yours. Even after I tried pushing you away, telling you I didn't want a relationship, you persistently said you wanted to just be my friend.

You always encouraged me and asked me questions about my life. You were very interested in me and no one has ever shown that the way you did.

I remember the day I decided to go to the gym with you without our other friends. It was just us on the treadmills and we had a three-hour conversation. It was one of the best conversations I've ever had. I told you my life story and you told me yours. Right then and there I started to have a connection with you.

The day we went ice skating with our group of friends was the day I started to actually give in and fall, not on the ice, but for you. I came to this realization after you told me you wouldn't let me fall.

You were my best friend then and you still are my best friend, but our friendship has turned into something more than that. It has turned into an amazing relationship.

Whenever I'm sad and down I can always count on you to make me laugh with your hilarious sense of humor. You always give me the best advice and you always support my dreams and life goals. I love that we have lots of similarities like our love for cheese; I never thought I would meet someone who loves cheese just as much as I do. You are caring and loving and you want the best for us.

I love when we go on random car rides and you sing to me in the car at the top of your lungs. I love the nights when we go out and play games with our friends, or the Netflix watching and pizza eating kind of nights.

Thank you for showing me love always and never giving up on me. Thank you for being my best friend and making me your soon to be wife. I love you so much!
