March 1st 2009 that day is forever held in my heart. It is the day that I met my
best friend, the day I met my love. It was the day I met you.
You have taught me so much and helped me to become the man I am today. You have
brought out the best in me and just by being you. And anyone that knows her knows
exactly that and dreams and visions beyond her years. But she shaped her life
and she took a leap of faith and growth and gracefully became the beautiful
woman that she is today. Confident and strong and in a loving relationship with
this wonderful man. And in raising this particular child that is so true because
I had so much help and with all of those that were in this room with love,
patience, discipline and encouragement and the sharing of Amy's tears sometimes we
raised her. And then bit by bit we wisely stepped back and let Amy spread her wings.
Today I stand in front of the man who makes all my dreams come true.
Everything in my life has led me to you. Every step of my journey has been worth it.
Because if I had done just one thing differently, I would never have met you.
Knowing you has made me a better person. Your big heart, your face and your selflessness
are qualities that remind me every day that I can be better. When I think about
us, it is incredible how much we compliment each other. In the areas that I am weak you
are strong. Like two puzzle pieces we fit together perfectly. We can and will do
anything we set our minds to. Seeing everything the world has to offer. Or
raising a brood of red-headed children. I can't promise to not roll my eyes when you
mention things like the Hobbit or Star Trek. But I can promise that if you really can't
find someone else to go, I will always be in a movie theater next to you. I know that
with you by my side anything is possible. I promise to always be here for you whether
you need me or not. I will be here to support you in all your decisions and in
our life. I promise to always apologize for the dumb things I've done and the even
dumber things I'll do and never let you go to sleep mad. To always tell you that I
love you before I go anywhere. I promise to bring you all the happiness you
deserve in life to help you grow and care for our family. I promise to help you
achieve all your hopes and dreams and above all else I promise to love you
with everything that I am and never will be.
