From a young age, most girls dream about their wedding day. We've scrolled through magazines to find the perfect wedding dress. We've made our 14 year old best friend commit to being our bridesmaid and we thought about the gifts, the flowers, the music, and the food. But what about the guy?

First off, if you are that one that I marry… Good luck.

I’ll be hard to love. I’ll run away from our problems. I will rather ignore you than talk it out. I’ll over think every comment that comes out of your mouth, and I will analyze every move. I’ll be sensitive and often needy for your hugs and kisses. I’ll go on and on about our future- whether it scares you or not. I’ll overuse “I love you." I’ll cry easily- whether we are watching a movie, listening to a song, or even on rainy Sunday mornings. I’ll drag you to my parents' house often. I’ll laugh uncontrollably and annoy you with my jokes; but I will get “mad” when you hit me back with one. I’ll leave my clothes on the bathroom floor, and you'll have to get used to my hair in the sink. I’ll complain when you're on the phone, and will be desperately waiting for some attention from you. You’ll roll your eyes as I cause an argument, just for you to tell me how much I mean to you.

Nonetheless- I hope the guy I marry will love me no matter how hard it is. I hope you’ll run after me and force me to talk out the problem. I hope you will reassure me, and choose your words carefully. I hope you’ll smother me with hugs and kisses, and smile while you're doing it. I hope you will play into our future, and imagine what it could be. You’ll learn to get used to my “I love you's". You’ll hold me when I cry, and comfort me when I'm in pain. You will learn to love my dysfunctional, but loving family. I hope you're the one that makes me laugh uncontrollably, and puts me in my place when I take it too far. You'll let me know when I'm being too needy, but I hope you'll still give me a kiss. You will let me pick the movie sometimes, and pretend to enjoy Nicholas Sparks' many love stories. You’ll know when to let me calm down before talking. You’ll see that I’m dramatic sometimes. You’ll love being around kids and family will be the utmost important thing to you. You’ll crave adventure and have a passion for traveling. You’ll be loving and patient. You will be an amazing husband and one day, an even better father.

Despite my flaws, I will love you unconditionally, uncontrollably, and unapologetically. I will always think about you before thinking about myself. I’ll wake you up with tea and breakfast on Saturdays, and be your Sunday morning church date. I’ll be your biggest supporter, and I will push you to do everything I know that you're capable of doing. I’ll be your best friend, the one you can tell your deepest secrets, and your best and worst moments to. I’ll forever be loyal and honest to you. I’ll be completely in love with you- my heart will forever skip a beat at the sight of your face, getting butterflies when you walk into the room, and I will be in love with the way you say my name. I’ll fall in love with every inch of you, even the crevasses from your smile- and I will smile unintentionally as I wake up beside you. I’ll take care of you on your sick days, and be the best cuddler on the lazy ones. I’ll give you my heart, and I expect nothing less than yours in return.

Life with me will be rough at times, but it will always be worth it.

Love,

Your Future Wife
