Dear future/current husband,
Hi, baby. Okay that sounded really sexual. Wow, I actually kind of wish you don't find this letter because I suck at introductions and this is really awkward now. Anyway!
So, what's it feel like marrying the most amazing girl in the world? Only half kidding. I would like to start off by telling you that I must love you a lot if I've decided on agreeing to spend my whole life with you. Just a thought though, I hope the proposal you gave me was sweet and romantic, because if it wasn't, I will go to the future and stab you!
I wonder how we met. Or I wonder who started the conversation first. So who made the first move? I hope it wasn't me, or I hope you didn't find me getting drunk in the corner of some bar because that would be very embarrassing! What I mean to say was, you must have had some big impact on me throughout my life. I wonder what kind of couple we are. The laid-back type, or the really outgoing fun type? I feel so strange writing a letter to the future, but I guess I can go back to this in 12 years time and laugh at it!
What type of guy are you? Right now, I envision myself to marry a successful man with a big heart. Someone who respects family and puts them first no matter what. Has a sense of humour and loves me for who I am, despite my constant mood swings and PMS. I hope you're intelligent and down to earth, but at the same time, rough and caring. If I were to read back on this, are you the type of guy I described? Or have I completely changed my taste?! Whatever the reason, I married you because you are a nice guy, so +10 points for you.
From the 16 year old Joanne, I would like to just say thank you, I guess. You've obviously have stuck with me for a long time and have endured my many episodes of weirdness, but still manage to keep on loving me. It's not a small accomplishment, you know? Am I taking care of you? I hope I am! But don't expect me to do all the cooking because I would probably burn the kitchen down (Or so my mother says). Thank you for always being by my side and sticking up for me whenever life put me down. And thank you for just loving me everyday. I know this might not seem so much as I write this, probably 10 years or so before I even get married to you, but I just want you to know that past me is grateful for whatever you've done for me. Even the smallest things, I'm forever grateful, and I hope you know that as your wife, I will promise and vow to always love you.
Also. I would like to say sorry, for all the times that our relationship didn't go so well. I know that theres bound to be problems anyway, so I just wanted to say sorry for all the shit you had to put up with over the past years that we've been going out. And sorry for all the times I've pulled constant tricks on you or made you feel really bad about yourself. At the end of the day though, I married you didn't I? That must be some sort of an accomplishment!! For a man that can put up with everything that I throw at him, you're bound to be a fantastic husband, and I will know that I haven't made the wrong decision into letting you in my life.
So how am I doing? Please tell me I still enjoy the nightlife as much as I do now. And you do look after me right? Because if you don't, I swear I am divorcing you right at this minute. Joking!
It'll be fun, yeah? You and I together, living our life together, sharing dreams together, passions together. Now that I think about it, you are probably one of the best things that's ever happened to me in my life. Because you're the one who brings me joy. I hope that were honest to each other about everything, and that we fully trust the other person. Because there is an 'us' in trust, right?! Okay, 16 year Joanne is lame shut up. But just thinking about it makes me smile. I am curious as to see what kind of a person you are. Maybe I already know you? Or maybe I'm going to meet you in the future and go 'Wow this guy is amazing'. Whatever way, I'm sure I've made the right decision.
What would our wedding be like?! It's going to be actually be amazing right? With all the friends and family invited, and then we say our vows and then BAM! We're married. 10 thumbs up for the quickest wedding description ever. I bet I'm going to actually blog about that being one of the most magical days in my life. Did I wear my dream wedding dress? I'm not going to mention it here because I'm sure you would already know what it is! If you don't, then you're a bad husband. How was our honeymoon? Where did you take me? I bet it was amazing, just like the woman you married. (Harhar)
Jokes aside,
I promise you that I will spend a lifetime, if not, 1000 lifetimes, loving you. When I make my vows on that wedding day, I won't be kidding. Yes, I do want to spend my life with you. And yes, I will be by your side. You are obviously my everything, and I hope that I am everything to you, also. I hope that we would have a wonderful future together, as we have planned. I hope that our children will be just as amazing as their father is, and I hope that they will inherit all your genes, because you are a gift to me. I promise to cook for you, even when I'm really tired, and stay up all night watching your favourite TV shows or game shows. I promise to give you massages when you're tired and even take turns with you to drive the kids to school. I promise that if you neglect your family, I will smash your computer and throw it out the window, and I swear to God that I will punch you in the face if you call me ugly or fat. But most of all, I promise to be your wife;
To have and to hold from this day forward
For better or for worse
For richer, for poorer
In sickness and in health
To love and to cherish;
From this day forward,
Until death do us part.
I love you,
Joanne.
