God says in Genesis 2:24, "This is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they come one." Today we start a new journey as the Boettcher Family.
I can't say that I knew from day one, maybe day 4 or 5, that you were it, but God knew. He took our stubborn personalities and made sure that we kept pursuing each other.
With all my heart, I believe that at DQ that night, He did it, not me. I remember that night I put a quote on Twitter from We Bought a Zoo. I seriously wonder what would have happened if I wouldn't have said anything.
On days when I doubt, I just have to think about the time that we spent apart and the moment when we reunited, it all became worth it. You are worth it.
The craziest thing that has even happened to me is happening today. We aren't just getting married, we are displaying a marriage that was worth every mile, every minute, every prayer.
Before you, I didn't understand love. I didn't understand how you can love one person so much. You are the most caring, passionate, and joyful person and you bring out the absolute best in me. I love your smile, the warmth of your hands, your laugh, the way you always make me feel special, the way you fry bacon (it's the best), and the way you love Jesus.
Since I was little girl, I prayed for the man that I was going to marry. I knew he would have to love Jesus and always strive to put Him first. I pray that through marriage, we are able to grow closer to each other, but also that we grow closer to God. I pray that in the rough times, we are reminded that the same person who created us made the mountains and knows how many drops of water are in the oceans.
You are my best friend.
I trust you.
I'm praying for you.
I have loved you for 970 days and this is just the beginning.
I love you.
(the almost)
Mrs. Deanna Boettcher
