1st Year Wedding Anniversary

Dear Wife Marie Jean Xavier,

How one whole year has come and gone is absolutely beyond me. Time speeds by around us so quickly it seems like twelve months have zoomed by in half the time, but it seems as if this has been my reality for so much longer. I can hardly remember what it’s like to not have you in my life.

It still makes me laugh that in the beginning months of our relationship, people would see us together and be surprised when they found out we were only friends then. ‘You seem like you've been together for five or ten years.’ Even strangers would say this; and hearing it would fill me with such a sense of pride that I am in the very relationship I imagined when I was in young. I was hoping to have that sweetheart type of relationship, and I’m very glad to know that I didn't have to be in high school or college to have it.

There is so much that I want to say, but I have no idea how to categorize it and explain it into something DEEP of what I feel for you. Which I believe you already know how much I love you. So much has happened in just this one year, but having the constant comfort of you by my side has made me feel like I can do anything. I have more hope and expectation for myself now than ever before. I have always wanted to pave myself the best life possible, but I am so humbled to have you here in my life now, that having you here has made me see beyond myself. My goals are now yours and your goals are now mine, and I am not ashamed of saying that I would prefer to build a life with you than to try and strive for greatness on my own. I see us as a power couple. I see us as the couple that everyone wants to be. I see us spending our lives pushing each other further, neither of us satisfied until the other is ahead. Right now, we don’t have a lot, but I promise you darling, we will be extraordinary. I know this in my very being.

Once upon a time, I was very afraid that I would not be able to recognize love when it failed me. Though I knew, I hardly even realized that I've been preparing myself for this. Every lesson I've learned and been thru has only made us a better couple and now a better HUSBAND & WIFE. Being in love and being loved feels so good. I wish everyone in the world could experience even half, even a quarter of our love; the world would definitely be a much better place.

I have received more love, caring, and consideration from you in twelve months that I have from most that I've known my entire life. They say that you should treat others how you wish to be treated, and this is so true in that the very love you have given me is what I have used to love you in return. Your love, intense, yet playful, innocent and pure, it fills me with so much peace. It is always just enough. I can pray to god that I won't break my promise made to your dad that he advice to me in front of everyone during our wedding dinner SPEECH. A sad tear drop from your eyes would be like a tear drop of bleeding blood from my HEART. I promise to you that I will spend the rest of my life trying to make sure you only be given the TEARS OF JOY.

With all this said and done, Happy Anniversary My Minion WIFE, I LOVE YOU TILL MY LAST BREATH AND SOUL - Pream Anand Tharmalingam
