For the first time in my life, I wasn’t afraid to let myself dream about how far this might go. I wasn’t afraid to dream about the pretty little house somewhere down the street; kids playing in the backyard, dinner cooking when you walk through the door after work. For the first time, I wasn’t afraid of meeting your family. Or of you meeting mine. I wasn’t afraid that you might not want to be seen out with me or if you thought I looked prettier with makeup on. For the first time, I wasn’t afraid to dream of the perfect wedding, our families and friends gathered around to watch us profess our love for each other.
You were the first man to show me that when you said family was important to you, you didn’t mean just yours. You showed me time and time again that family was all that mattered. I promise to be your family from now until the day we die.
I promise to not only be your family, but also your friend. I promise to always be a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a hug to fold into. I will always be by your side. Even when the days are full of sun and rainbows. Especially when the days are nothing more than harsh storms and drowning seas.
I promise that my every action will show my loving, faithful devotion to you and you alone. I promise to be someone you can always trust with every piece of yourself.
I promise to never stop building you up and helping you grow. I promise to be truthful and kind, even when I know the words may be hard to hear.
I promise to never let hard times drive a wedge between us. I promise to always come to you with my hopes, fears, worries, and tears.
I promise to remember that neither of us are perfect, but I also promise to always remind you why you are perfect to me.
The day I met you, I was only looking for a friend. And in you I have found so much more. I look forward to getting to know and find so much more with you for the rest of my life.
