When we met, I knew she was perfect. Pretty, musical, kind, funny, and thoughtful; she was all I dreamed about in a girl. I know, sorta cheesy, but it was pretty true at the time and I see all of those qualities in her and even more now. But that was 8th grade. It wasn't until 6 years of maintaining a solid friendship that we began dating. And while our friendship was full of wonderful adventures, nothing has been more wonderful than the adventures of our relationship now. Although times have been tough being long distance for over two years, I couldn't be happier with the surprises that have come with being 5 hours apart. Needless to say though, we feel more than ready to be spending life together. As we prepare for our marriage, we reflect on the beautiful ways that our friends and family have been a part of our lives building up to this moment. We really cannot wait to spend this time in celebration with you, and more importantly spend our lives with you in our married years. Cheers.
