shelbyluvv Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 My soon to be wife has been out of town this week for training. We are getting married Saturday and have been miserable without each other. I have never been a sappy guy but this woman brings a totally different person out of me. I have asked her a thousand times why I was the lucky one, why she picked me, why? While she was gone she put her thoughts on paper and handed me this tonight. I got teary eyed, she's my one and I am so thankful she took a chance on me. Babe, when you read this always remember, I am the lucky one! I love you Stephanie! When I say “I love you”… I want you to know and feel this. When I say “I love you” I mean all of you, just as you are. I love your silliness and your playfulness, how easily we can just laugh at ourselves and at life. I love your courage and your strength. I love your jealousy and insecurity. I love your (sometimes painful) honesty. I love how you walk, you talk and take responsibility for your own “$#!&.” I love your willingness to face your fears and grow. I love who you are deep down- the stubborn, intelligent, fierce, witty, silly, proud, honorable, loving man and Marine that you are. When I say “I love you,” I mean I trust you. I respect you. I admire you. I adore you. When I say “I love you,” I mean that I’m sorry. I’m sorry for every time I take you for granted. I’m sorry for every time I’m too busy, too distant, too self-absorbed to make time for you. I’m sorry for every time I fall short of being the partner you deserve. When I say “I love you,” I mean my life is better with you in it. I’m a better woman because of you. The more I come to know you, the more I want to know. I miss you when you’re not around. I’m so thankful for every moment we’re together- always wanting more time with you. When I say “I love you,” I mean I want to be the one you turn to when you’re hurting. I want to be the one who listens. I want to hold you in my arms. I want to take care of you. I want to give you something to hold on to, something to anchor you in this constantly changing world. When I say “I love you,” I really mean you’re damn handsome, whether you’re in your dress blues or all dirty, sweaty and greasy in a holey shirt and shorts. Sometimes it catches me off guard and takes my breath away. When I say “I love you,” I mean that I want you. From the first time you touched me, I felt a connection- an electricity I’ve never known. I have longed for you- for your touch, your embrace, your kiss. Like no one else can, you awaken the woman in me, the passion, the hunger and lust. I want to make a home and family with you. I want you as my partner, my lover, my closest friend. I want to wake up next to you each morning and you beside me, surrounding me when I close my eyes at night. So the next time I grab you, wrap my arms around you, pull you close, kiss you and look you in the eye and say “I love you”, what I really mean is: Here I am- Mind, Body and Soul. Sinner and Saint. Lover and Fool. All of my love and all of my baggage- all of me. Here I am with open arms. I see you- father, son, brother, lover, friend. All of your light and all of your darkness. The Marine and the boy- all of you. I want you, all of you. You and only you, just as you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I didn't realize you were marrying into a complete family. Having done that, I can say with some authority that it makes life ... interesting. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks guys. It has been pretty easy with her girls. We have been a small family for a year or so. They are good kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
