You truly are the luckiest man in the world that you get to marry a woman like her. When I think about all the good qualities about her, the list is infinite. I could go on and on about the heart she has for people, the love she has for God and the dedication she has to work. I could also go on and on about how she is the most hard-headed person you will ever meet, how she won't talk to you when y'all are in an argument, even if she is the one in the wrong and how quick she is to think the worst, even though it is usually never the worst. I am sure you know all of these things by now, but there are a few things I don't want you to forget.

1. When she comes home with multiple puppies, just try not to be angry with her.

You signed up for a life with an animal lover. She is going to bring home a puppy one day without asking you; she may even bring home multiple puppies, but just remember that is one of the many reasons you love her. She has a heart of gold. Also, maybe it will keep her so occupied that she won't want to have babies for a while. (I am rooting for ya on that one.)

2. As much as I hate that she drinks it, please always keep Coke in the fridge for her.

She is probably the most caffeine-addicted person I know, but at least it's caffeine, you know? I mean, it could be worse.

3. Always tell her that her cooking is good.

I will never understand why she likes to cook so much, but she does. She is one of those people who even puts up little pictures of her finished meals on Instagram because she is so proud of herself. Even if it is the worst thing you have ever tasted in your life, eat it. Swallow it, smile and tell her how good it is. Maybe the reaction she gets from it will bring you enough joy to get you through any bad meal.

4. Don't ever stop surprising her.

She acts like she does not like stuff like that, but she is the definition of a hopeless romantic. She loves that kind of stuff, and she loves you. You could probably bring her an empty box, and she would love it and find some use for it because she loves you, and the thought of you surprising her means more to her than the actual object you are surprising her with.

5. I will be over for sleepovers.

If you come home to an empty pizza box and an empty bottle of that $3 wine we used to drink our freshman year of college, then I am there, and I am sleeping over. I may even sleep in the bed with y'all, but don't worry — she will sleep in the middle so it won't be weird.

6. Lastly, and most importantly, never stop loving her.

You are taking my best friend and soulmate from me, the Christina to my Meredith, so you better never ever stop loving her. She is the best person I know. She is someone I strive to be. She is someone loyal, someone caring and someone who is going to fight for your relationship in the midst of a storm and on any good day. She is tough as nails and knows how to pick herself up and get on with her day. So don't stop loving her, because she is a woman of true character, and you will never find another like her.
