Today marks the day that I have been married to my wonderful husband for two years! Our wedding day is still fresh in my mind like it was yesterday It was a beautiful august afternoon at Bethany Lutheran Church in Minneapolis and then we had our reception at the Fort Snelling Ballroom. We were surrounded by about 250+ of our closest friends and family. It was the perfect day to celebrate the first day of the rest of our lives as a married couple.
I remember it being very hot in the church because there wasn't any air conditioning, but when I was saying " I Andrea take you Ted.." I remember looking deep into my husbands eyes and knowing that there was a reason that God had placed us in each others paths and it was simply meant to be. I look back and thought I couldn't possibly love him any more at that very moment we were standing before the Lord and all the people we love dearly... my heart was pouring with love, but now that two years have passed I know I will continue to love him more and more as each day passes. A few years ago Ted gave me a bracelet that said 'I love you today, more then yesterday, less then tomorrow - Love Ted' Probably one of my favorite things he has ever given me as a gift because it describes exactly how I feel about him too. Everyday he seems to amaze me with his caring, kind, and loving heart.
Ted, I remember the very first day I met you like it was yesterday. I remember you working night shifts and you would call me on your breaks at like 3 in the morning and I'd lay there half awake on the phone just to hear your voice for a couple minutes. I still remember our first official date was Go-carting and I beat you in the race ( I know you say you let me win but lets be honest I won that race fair and square!) I remember staying up late to watch the hockey games, I remember when we were standing in the kitchen and I turned around to find you on one knee saying how you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me, I remember finding out I was pregnant and you held me and promised to be the best dad to this little baby, I remember giving birth to Brody and you were so supportive and loving, I remember saying "I do" and marrying my best friend.. all these memories will never fade you have kept all your promises (except the melting pot.. its been 4 years since you said you would take me there) now we can keep looking forward to making many more great memories together as a family. I love when I catch you playing with boys and you don't know I'm watching, I love when we laugh together, I love that you work your butt off to support our family of 4, I love that you make sure I know how much you love me, I love your sense of humor, I love that you can laugh at my clumsy self instead of getting mad at all the things I drop, break, and ruin, I love that you have overcome 7 years of being sober, I love that you have love for the Lord, I love that you are always yourself and never put on an act.. I love so many things about you those were just a few. Thanks for being the man I dreamed about when I was younger, a constant support system, a best friend, a loving father, and thanks for being my husband. I can't wait to keep spending the rest of our lives together, and I am so thankful for you everyday. I will never stop loving you.
Love always,
Your wife xoxo
