My Dearest Mahal, Wow… I honestly don’t even know where to begin because no amount of words will ever be enough to tell you how much you mean to me. Sometimes I still ask myself, “Why me?” Out of everyone, why did God choose me to be loved by someone like you? You know all my flaws. You know I’m moody, impatient, stubborn, and sometimes a little too demanding. Yet you never stopped loving me. You prayed for an angel, but God gave you a dragon instead. At least I still have wings. 😅 Today, before God, our family, and everyone we love, we finally become husband and wife. Who would’ve thought that two childhood playmates and neighbors would end up here? We even became Facebook chatmates without realizing we had known each other since we were kids. Looking back now, I know this wasn’t a coincidence. It was God’s perfect plan all along. Waiting for each other wasn’t easy. We went through misunderstandings, long-distance, different time zones, and countless sacrifices. But through it all, you never gave up. You stayed awake just so we could eat breakfast together on a video call because you knew I wouldn’t eat without you. Even when you were exhausted, you always made time for me and for our family. And whenever I got sick, you were always there to take care of me and our daughters, even when you barely had any sleep yourself. People don’t always see what kind of man you are, but I do. Even when I become my stubborn self and we argue, you rarely fight back. You just stay quiet. And somehow, your way of releasing stress is doing the laundry. Every single piece of clothing gets washed. Even the clean ones become cleaner. 😂 But there’s one moment I’ll never forget. One day, after one of our arguments, you cried. I quickly turned you away because I didn’t want Chloe to see us arguing. But she still noticed. She asked me, “Mommy, what happened to Papa?” Of course, I couldn’t tell her we had been arguing, so I told her your tooth was hurting. She immediately walked over to you, gave you the biggest hug, and prayed for God to heal you. At that moment, my heart melted. I realized that even our daughters could see the kind of man you are—a gentle, loving father who has earned their trust and love. Watching you love them so naturally makes me fall in love with you even more. Before I met you, I made many mistakes. I held on to people who weren’t meant for me because I was afraid of letting go. I questioned my worth and settled for less than the love God wanted for me. But God never gave up on me. He used every heartbreak, every disappointment, and every season of waiting to prepare my heart for the man He had already chosen. You. The man who loved me wholeheartedly. The man who loved my daughters as his own. The man who never made me feel like I had to earn a place in his heart because he welcomed us into it from the very beginning. Today, I don’t just celebrate becoming your wife. I celebrate God’s faithfulness. Because every tear, every prayer, every lesson, and every season of waiting led me to this very moment. So today, before God and everyone we love, I make these promises to you. I promise to love you through every season of life. I promise to respect you, support your dreams, and stand beside you no matter what challenges come our way. I promise to always make our family a home filled with love, laughter, forgiveness, and faith. I promise to remind you every day how deeply appreciated and loved you are. And most of all, I promise that every morning I wake up, I will choose you again. Not because marriage is always easy… But because you are worth choosing every single day. Thank you for waiting for me. Thank you for never giving up on us. Thank you for showing me what real love looks like. You are my answered prayer, my best friend, my safe place, my home, and my forever. I love you with all my heart. Forever and always.
