Today I Am Marrying Your Daddy.

To many people, today will be a celebration. A celebration of love and happiness. There will be music and dancing, delicious food and drinks. And you will see and feel love all around. But son, today is much more than a celebration. Today I am marrying your daddy in the presence of our family, our friends, and God. Today I am making a commitment to your daddy that I will love and support him until the day I leave this earth. I am making a commitment to honor and respect him. To love him even when it seems difficult to do. To hold him when he stumbles, and continuously remind him of his strength and beautiful heart. The heart I fall in love with over and over again. I will tell your daddy how important he is to me. And how my life would be incomplete without him in it. And for the first time I will call him my husband. And he will call me his wife. 

 You may see mommy and daddy cry, but know that we are happier than you can imagine. You see the road we walked was not perfectly paved. Instead it was broken, yet beautiful still. There were moments we struggled to continue, yet the love we shared carried us through. Our love could not be overcome and today we are stronger than ever before. 

My son, I want you to know that the commitment I make to your daddy today is also a commitment I am making to you. I am committing to be an example of the love, grace, patience, and respect you should one day be shown when you fall in love. I am committing to teach you what is most important when you seek a life partner. And though I may fail at being a perfect wife, I promise to always strive to be my best for your daddy. And in turn for you and our family. 

 I love you. And I cannot wait to see you sitting beside me as I promise myself to your daddy. 

 Love, 

 Your Mommy
