My Lovely Bride


To: My Lovely Bride

Today is the fourth anniversary of the day we were married. I have to admit that I WAS a little worried that you had watched "Runaway Bride" so intently just days before the ceremony. Something about the notebook in your lap and the intermittent scribbling you were doing in it. The occasional loving glances my way with those magnificent hazel eyes, then turning back towards the screen. Then more scribbling.

But here we are. Four years down this tremendous journey together. The road isn't always smooth. Each day brings something new. But I wouldn't have it any other way. You are my friend, my partner, my lover and my soul mate. You do truly complete me.

So...

For putting up with me every day. For enduring the corny jokes. The trials of being in the printing business by marriage. For keeping me straight and headed down the road...

You have TRULY earned this!

A little gritty, a little tender, and one hundred percent from the heart. Nicely written!

My dear son-in-law: What beautiful words... Steve, as the mother of my first-born daughter, it makes me happy to know that you love her so much and will always take care of her. I have always know you loved her, but to read the words that come from your heart makes it a very special reality. I love you very much and appreciate your care of her and my grandchildren - they all deserve that. May you and your bride have a wonderful 4th anniversary and many, many more. Life is good; love is great; and God is awesome.
