Remember.
I tried my best to surprise you, but I’m sure you were already expecting it. I can’t hide anything from you.
Remember when I proposed to you with the most beautiful pearl ring that’s ever graced the face of this earth. But even then, it didn’t come anywhere close to how beautiful you are. As rare as that pearl was, I never stop thinking about how blessed I am to have found the only Avery in existence. Who would have thought to look in Indiana? Who am I to be blessed enough to call you mine?
We had the most lavish wedding. Everyone was taking photos so that they could remember how to model their wedding after ours. We saw all of our close friends again. Everyone was talking about how perfect we are for each other. No doubt, people were jealous. And then we said our vows and “I do’s.” And then the kiss. Can you still imagine how indescribable that kiss was?
And then the honeymoon. That was unforgettable.
I remember that night we were sitting outside of the Earth House (because we were too cool for everyone else), you were eyeing an apartment overlooking the city, daydreaming about us living together in our home. Not just any home. A home that people would pay to come see.
Before you knew it, we were watching cars pass by from the comfort of our home. Hand in hand. But then we were too distracted from gazing into each others eyes. Counting each other’s eyelashes, but mostly thinking about how much we love each other and how blessed we are.
And then we went home. In each other’s arms. In the comfort of our bed. And although we did this many times before, the feelings of butterflies in my stomach never ceased or got old. But having you doze off to sleep with you in my arms and your head on my chest made it so rewarding. Us cuddled up together taking a journey to dream land.
And each morning, I experienced a supreme pleasure - to wake up by your side is more exquisite than heaven.
