Ron, I can't believe how far we've come. At 11 years old, I never would have imagined that the annoying little boy I met on the train to school would now be standing in front of me about to be my husband. I had no idea just how much that day changed my life. Every day since then has been filled with more bickering and arguing than I would have ever thought possible, but also with laughter, adventure, and so much love. It took me a long time to realize just how much I loved you, and even longer for me to admit it, but even though it took more than most people will ever know for us to finally get together, I wouldn't have had it any other way. I think it's made us stronger, and it's showed me that I have truly found my soulmate. I love how you make me laugh and how you always stand up for the people you love. I promise to always stand up for you too and to laugh at all your jokes, even the ones that aren't funny. I promise to show you every day how much I love you, and I promise to make sure you know that you are valued and appreciated. Thank you for sticking with me through all of the highest and lowest moments in my life- you truly are my hero. I promise to do the same for you as long as I live. It's been a wild 13 years with you, but I couldn't have found anyone better to spend it with. I promise to stick it out with you for as many years as we get to have together, and with every day that passes, I promise to love you even more than I do now. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us, because knowing you and me, it's gonna be crazy and unpredictable, and I'm so excited to go through it all with you. I love you.
