To My Future In-Laws,

Thank you.

I wanted to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for raising your son to be the man he is today, thank you for raising him in the manners and love of others. I may or may not know you yet, but know that you have done these things because I would not be marrying him otherwise.

Thank you for bringing him up with the qualities a man should possess, like hard working, compassion and respect for others. I sincerely believe that God works miracles and your son is one of mine.

Thank you for accepting me and deeming me worthy of your sons hand. I will love your son forever and deeply. You are his family and will soon be mine too. I hope that we can be this way. I want you to be my family, not just "my husbands parents" and I hope I am not just "The girl who married our son."

I will understand that you need his as much, if not more than I do sometimes. I will always make sure there is equal time with you as well as with my family. Holidays are especially important time to me to be with family as and we will be with you as much as possible, but please keep in mind that I have a family too.

I would never try and steal your son away from you, if anything I want your relationship to grows as ours does. I truly hope to develop a relationship with you and I hope you feel the same. I hope you understand that sometimes there are going to be things I want to figure out on my own, and sometimes, I may need your advice.

I want you to know that any issues I may have connecting with you or opening up to you have nothing to do with you but everything to do with my relationship (or lack thereof) with my own parents.

I sincerely hope that you know that my love for your son is 100% true and I would never do anything to jeopardize the relationship we have.

I know your son is your pride and joy, I know that you would do anything to see him happy. I know that you love him more than anything in the world, I hope you know that I do as well. I sincerely hope that you see your son and I together and it makes you nothing but happy.

Most of all, I want to become your daughter and I want you to become my parents. I do not want to be just your daughter-in-law and I don't want you to be just my mother or father-in-law. I want to be family.

Thank you for being who you are and giving me the man of my dreams.

Sincerely,

Your Future Daughter-In-Law.
