________, I found in you a strength I never knew I had. I now have the ability to see the future and do everything possible to keep that vision a reality for the both of us.

I found in you a home that we built together. Today we are laying the founding bricks with not just love, but an everlasting commitment to each other.

I found in you wisdom that would otherwise take years to acquire. Because you never go into a relationship knowing what to expect, we, together, have learned how to deal with those unexpected happenings and will continue to learn how to maneuver on a sometimes uneven path.

I found in you children. The children that we once were, and may very well be for quite some time! Just as a child takes baby steps to learn to walk, we, too, must take baby steps at first while understanding that taking it slow really is the best way to learn anything.

I found in you a calm ending, an ending to my search for happiness because that happiness is the most wonderful gift you have ever given me.

And finally, I found in you a bright beginning. I found the beginning of a life with someone who completes me in every way I can think of. We can shine as individuals, but, Baby, we sparkle as a couple!

I hope that I can give you everything and more of what you given me. If I can make your life half as complete, half as happy, half as wonderful and exciting as you have made my life, I couldn’t ask for anything more, except maybe to share that wonderful life together.
