IMG_3547We had to write pledge letters to each other.  Dean’s made me cry.

Beautiful Baby,

You are the best thing that ever happened to me; and most importantly I appreciate the gift you are in mind, body, spirit such that we make God’s gift together abundantly clear–we two are one…

In love together – forever!

This is why, I will use each day to take steps closer to you, sharing and caring as well as loving you beyond our wedding day which is simply the beginning of a journey with hills and valleys.

I never want to walk upon the tender stems, leaves, and petals of my gentle flower; yet, should I ever fail you, I fail us.  I know this and I dread this, because I love you and because I know missteps are imminent.  However, please never doubt my pledge and understand my stupidity is only exceed by my remorse.

I am however deeply committed to us.  I can see the most beautiful days on the horizon, because you have given me so much already.  I’m looking forward to everyday and ready to cherish the biggest challenges as well as our small victories; a child; a home; a hug.

Love forever,

Dean!
