I used to write letters to people, and today, I’ve got a very special letter for a very special person.

Parker,

You’ve changed my life. Completely and utterly. You came along and stuck with me when I was closed off and stubborn. You didn’t give up on me when I didn’t show up (because I wasn’t ready). You waited for me. You showed me that you weren’t going anywhere. We talked all the time. There were many late nights. We got to know each other and I knew this was something special.

That very first day I knew that I was going to marry you. It’s true what people say: when you know, you know. I knew that you were IT for me. I knew that you were my home. I’ve told you that before, but I need you to know that it’s true. The moment I laid eyes on you, it’s like nothing else mattered; it’s like all that mattered was you and me and that moment. Our first date was a long time coming, but it was just perfect. Me, you, coffee and all the chatting. And it’s just like that now.

I love that you’re honest.

I love that you are always there for me.

I love how you look at me.

I love how nothing I say is stupid.

I love that I get to be 100% me.

Being able to shout loud and proud about you makes my heart so happy. All I’ve ever wanted is someone to share my life with, and I can’t wait to share my every day with you. I can’t wait to be your wife. I can’t wait to have our very own family. I can’t wait to wake up beside you every day. I can’t wait for each time we do the exciting things… and I can’t wait for the every day things. It’s the every day things that mean most.

We’ve done so much together already and I am the luckiest girl in the world that you want to spend time with me. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life trying to show you how happy you make me, how much I love you and how lucky I am to have you.

I could go on and on, but know this: my words will never be enough.

Love, your MJ xx
