Her feelings for her future husband...

How can I begin to sum up all the wonderful attributes my future husband exibit??? You have changed my life in so many ways and I am amazed by you everyday. You are my Hero. You make my heart soar, you make me laugh every single day. You listen and you understand me and you make me feel amazing and beautiful all the time. You're patient, caring, forgiving, intelligent and O, did I mention HOT?? I didn't believe a Love like this could or would ever happen to me. I was broken and felt defeated and then GOD placed you into my life at just the right time, and he gave me hope that you were the man that I had been waiting for all my life. When we first met I knew there was instant chemistry and I fought my feelings for you for so long.  I kept thinking "How in the world could I possibly already love this man after such a short amount of time"? It didn't take too long before you noticed how I truely felt. I don't think you will ever really comprehend how you have made all of my dreams come true. I feel so very lucky just knowing that you chose me to be your wife, it completes and fulfills every part of me. I can't imagine me without you and I hope to continue to make you happy from now and until the day we are with our heavenly father.

I love you babe.

His feelings for his future bride....

My love, Babe and Betty bear, are just a few of the nicknames I have for my future wife. More than four years ago, I asked GOD to introduce me to the woman that was perfect for me.  A woman who I could share and spend the rest of my life with. Not long after that prayer I met Kim and since then we have been inseparable. In a short period of time we have traveled to 5 countries and been through countless experiences. She is my partner and best friend. She has made me a better man; stronger, more confident, more loving. Stealing a few lines from our wedding song:  My whole life has changed - Since you came in, I knew back then - You were that special one - I'm so in love, so deep in love.

GOD has blessed me, I love you babe.
