Alice, when I sat down to write my wedding vows I thought it would be one of the easiest things I would have to do. I was wrong because finding words good enough to say I love you is a hard thing to do. What I will say is that from the moment I met you I knew I had met an incredibly special woman. I found myself looking to talk to you and be with you every single second of the day. I was so drawn to you from the first hello, that I wanted to know everything about you. For many years you blessed me with a friendship so precious and wonderful. My only regret about that time is that it took me so long to realise I loved you. I will always remember when I first realised I loved you. I was sat talking to you, asking silly questions about favourite holidays and what our perfect date would be. I had butterflies in my stomach and my heart was banging in my chest and at first I didn’t know why. Then it hit me, I was in love with the woman sat before me, the same woman stood before me now. Your love lights up my life. I feel alive knowing you are by my side, empty when your not. I spent 10 long years regretting letting fear and insecurities push us apart, when we should never be parted. I knew in my heart the fear and insecurities were only there because I loved you so much. The love I have in my heart for you continues to grow every second of every day. I have a smile on my face the brightens up every darkness. Sometimes the smile is there when it shouldn’t be, but I cant help it. You are always in my thoughts and you always make me smile. You face is etched into my mind, I know every single feature. How your golden blond hair flickers when the light hits it. Your smile that reaches your eyes, making them smile too. Your beautiful brown eyes that sparkle and shine, two faint lines creasing the sides. You see I know everything about you because you are everything to me. I know that when I am with you I will always be loved and will always have love to give. I give you my love, I give you my trust and I give you my life. You see, you are the wind that rushes over my body and sends shivers to my soul. You are the ocean who’s waves rise above me and engulf me in an embrace. Alice, you are the snow flake that lands on my nose and melts. The snow flake that lands on my heart and melts it. Alice, today my vows voice how much I love, the ring I place on your finger is a symbol of how much I love you and from now until forever, every little thing I do will be the actions that show you how much I love you.
