Dear future husband,

For starters: I really hope that you exist. I just want to put that out there. I know that it's possible you don't, but I really hope you do.

If we've made it to the point of you marrying me, then you've somehow been able to handle all of the weirdness that I bring to the table, so props to you.

You really must be a keeper if you've stayed this long. (I can be quite a handful sometimes.)

If you exist, there are some things that you need to know before you enter into this lifelong commitment with me...

The fun things...

I'm...eccentric...to say the least. I've known it my whole life, and it's not a part of me that I hide very well.

In fact, I don't really try.

I may randomly burst into fits of terrible singing. I really hope you sing along. I need someone to join in on my weirdness. I really want someone who can sing, and will be my lifelong duet partner.

I can JAM in the car no matter how long the ride is. Singing and dancing. I'll need you to do the same.

I am a terrible dancer. I hope you're just as terrible or will be willing to teach me if you're actually good.

Be prepared to eat a lot of mac and cheese, because I really don't cook very well yet. I'm learning, but it may take a while for the food to actually look and taste good.

My family is just as weird as I am, and I hope you guys get along really well.

You're going to be my best friend, and I'm going to need you to fit right in with the rest of the fam.

They're crazy, but if you're marrying me, you're probably crazy too.

And the serious things...

I will probably double check that you're no longer mad at me after a fight.

Triple check.

Quadruple check.

I need to be sure we're okay. I may apologize more than once...even for little arguments.

Sometimes, I am hesitant to try new things or make big decisions. I may just need a little push, but please also be patient.

Be prepared for tears.

Whether it's that time of the month, a really sad movie or I am really angry about something, tears just seem to come out sometimes.

I need someone who will care, in the sense that they will try and help.

I need someone who can't stand to see me hurting, so they do what they can to see that I get better.

I like reassurance. Especially reassurance and proof that you love me--your words and your actions need to match.

I've made mistakes with others and with you in the past, and mistakes will continue to be made for the rest of our lives, so please don't give up on me.

If you do, I will probably tell myself you no longer care about me.

I need someone willing to work through issues, someone, willing to communicate.

Be prepared to be the spiritual leader in the household. We walk this life together, along with Christ, and I need to not only know that, but I need to see it in your actions.

So, my dear future husband, I can't wait to meet you. Meeting and knowing you will be one of the best things to ever happen to me.

I have big plans for us and our future.
