"Love is a short word--easy to spell, difficult to define, and most of all... impossible to live without. Love is work: love is realizing that every hour, every minute was worth it because we did it together.
Kevin, when we met just about 8 years ago, I had no idea how upside down you would turn my world. When I found you, you were everything I didn't know I needed. You became the home I never knew I was searching for. And you are the person I've waited for my entire life. I think about all of the things our lives have had to endure to get here, to this very moment. This day, it was meant to be ours.
I've watched you become an incredible man and doggy dad. You are supportive, loving, selfless and most of all, kind. I am so beyond blessed to get to share my life with you and see what new adventures come our way. I know with every fiber in my being that we were meant to walk this life together.
From this day forward we are one and you won't ever have to walk alone. The places you go--I will go. The dreams you dream--I will too. When you celebrate--so will I. The struggles and challenges you face--become mine too.
I promise to be your comfort and your sanctuary. I promise to champion and support you in all that you do. I promise to always be by and on your side. I promise to be faithful to you. I promise to be your best friend. I promise to always choose you.
I loved you yesterday.
I love you today.
I will love you forever."
