By Wesley Johnson

It’s hard to put my feelings into words. It almost seems useless to how I feel about you. 

You make me want to be better everyday of my life. To hold my head up higher, to do better as a man. 

I always believed that love was simply a word: you love a dog, or your parents, but now I understand love as something more-it’s not just a word, emotion or feeling. 

It is a state of being, it is a complete and utter devotion to another person with the intent of making not just your or their life better, but your lives together better as partners. 

From this day forth that is exactly what we will become, partners in life, in love, in every facet of being. 

I could run through every cliche in the book, but instead I will just tell you that I love you, and I will never leave you or forsake the bonds that we are joining in.  I will always be there for you, Aidan and our future children, no matter what happens, through sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, I will be devoted to you forever and always.  I love you.
