I don’t even know how to start this post. As I sit here looking
at the letters on the keys in front of me it seems almost impossible to get the
words out into something that is even a little cohesive. 7 years of marriage
but many more of loving you…I don’t even know where to start.
When I think about our life together, I feel like it started
when we were 15. We were young, innocent and full of hopes and dreams. I remember
the coach trip to Disneyland Paris where we sat and talked about everything and
anything. I felt like I could tell you anything and you would never judge me.
You made me feel safe, loved and invincible. Fast forward 15 years and you
still make me feel like that every single day. You are my biggest cheerleader
and supporter and I always know that with you I have a safe place, a confident
and a best friend. You make me feel like I can do anything and I know that you’ll
always be there to catch me if it doesn’t go right.
We have been through so much together. We’ve seen each other
through stress, job changes, the loss of loved ones and illness. It doesn’t
matter what comes our way we face it together because we are a team and that’s the
way it will always be.
We had so many more good times than bad. Our wedding day was
one of the most amazing days of my life. 7 years ago, today I woke up at 6 am
and went bounding into my mum and dads’ room shouting, ‘I’m getting married
today!!!’. For me, it wasn’t the getting married part that was exciting, it was
the fact that I was doing it with you. Our day was perfect from beginning to
end. We laughed (remember when I whispered, ‘Sausage surprise!!’ to you for
some random reason as we were signing the register and we couldn’t stop
laughing?), we danced, and we drank a lot of champagne! It was just perfect and
if I could do it again I wouldn’t as it would never be as good as that day was.
You really weren’t joking in your speech when you said that
you were going to spend the rest of your life trying to make me happy were you?
You’ve got to 7 years so far and you’re doing a blinding job. Our lives have changed
so much since that day, but you still make me happier than I thought I ever
could be. We now have our 2 beautiful boys and I remember how people told me
when I was pregnant that our relationship would change, and I was scared. They were
right, our relationship did change. We may not hold hands everywhere any more or
have all our time to devote to each other BUT seeing the father that you are
makes me love you more than I ever thought possible. Our boys are so incredibly
lucky to have you as a father and I will be forever grateful that it was me you
chose to build your family with.
So, what’s the point of this soppy, kiss ass post? Well, just
to tell you that I am so pleased we said, ‘I do’ and that I have loved the past
7 years with you. Things aren’t always roses and sunshine but the good times
always outweigh the bad and I am so happy that I get to go on this ride with
you. I don’t know what the next 7 years have in store, but I do know that if it’s
with you then it will be filled with happiness, laughter and love.
