The 23rd of september might be just a random date for most people. But for Dan and I it is the date we first met.
The day I first realized that he wasn't some little and cringe worthy influencer.
The day he first realized that there might be something like love at first sight.
The day we both didn't realize that that date would change our life for ever and for the better.
Through highs and lows, Dan and I found back to the foundation we built and couldn't let go. Even though sometimes it would've been easier to be separated, we ultimately both knew that that wasn't an option for neither of us.
On the 23rd of september I found my soulmate.
“Dear Dan,
if I'm honest, it's been a struggle writing this for you. I know that I love you and I know why I do. But writing it down and knowing you'll read this, scares me. Not because I'm afraid of what you'll think or I'm not certain in what I feel, simply because I want it to be perfect. But this is exactly what you've taught me: It's okay not to be be perfect. What even is perfect? At the end of the day all I really know is that you are perfect for and to me. Thank you for keeping me sane, showing me what love really is and allowing me to be completely myself. I am so grateful to have met you that september noon. I can't imagine my life without you. And I'm not just saying that, I really want you to know that I will be with you through thick and thin, through sickness and health. Thank you for letting me in and being just the way you are. Thank you for not giving up on me, dealing with all of the unnecessary stress I've sometimes brought to your life and working every thing out with me. And honestly, thank you for fighting for me when I was too weak to. Thank you for not only showing me love, but also friendship. Through you I've learned what true and unconditional friendship is.
I promise to encourage your passions.
I promise to be your amine watching partner for ever.
I promise to show you unconditional love and respect.
I promise to take care of you when you can't.
I promise to let you love yourself.
I promise to be the best mother I can be.
I promise to neve laugh at your ugly crying face again.
And lastly, I promise to love you exactly how you are.
I love you endlessly, Y/N.”
“Dear Y/N,
currently you're laying next to me sleeping and as always I am up. Today has been a challenging day for you but seeing you rest is all I could ask for. In a couple of hours we'll finally be husband and wife. If you would've told me on the first day we met that I would marry you, I wouldn't have a doubt in my mind. I don't think I've ever told you, but the day we met I just knew this wouldn't be the last time I saw you. And I want you to know that I've never taken the privilege of seeing you every day for granted. Love, you are truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are easily the strongest person I know. When you get beaten down, you get right up. And in this letter I want to thank you for showing me that I as well can be this strong. You've taught me something that no one else was able to. And that's how to love myself. Through you I've become a better, more patient and aware person. Through you I've learned what true love is. Through you I've seen how to deal with the hardships of life. And through you I've seen how beautiful life is.
You have given me ths power to recognize that and for that, I'll be forever grateful. I'll also be forever grateful for you sticking with me and giving me chance after chance until I finally get it right. I am endlessly grateful for you not giving up on me when I almost did. I can't wait to leave everything bad behind and start this new chapter of our life with you.
I promise to never let you down again.
I promise to protect you.
I promise to listen to your random ideas at two in the morning for hours.
I promise to respect and cherish you for ever.
I promise to never watch another episode without you.
And lastly, I promise to make you and our family my priority.
Please don't laugh at my ugly crying face. But even if you do, I love endlessly, Dan.”
