I Want To Marry You

I want to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.

I want to try on wedding dresses in front of my mother.

I want to make Pinterest boards to figure out how I want my hair and makeup to look.

I want to take your breath away as soon as you see me wearing white.

All I can see is you.

I want to recite the vows that took me months to get perfect.

I want to dance with you during the reception to a song that only we understand.

I want to have photographs taken that will hang on the walls of our future home forever.

I want to spend time with the people I love the most before leaving for our honeymoon.

Before we officially start the next chapter of our lives together.

I want to marry you but not just for the cake or the presents or the party.

Not for the one day thats going to cost us thousands of dollars.

I want to marry you even if none of those things happen.

Even if we decide to say our vows without any guests, without a ceremony, without a reception.

I want to marry you, because of how comfortable I feel when Im cocooned in your arms.

Because you might make me laugh without even trying.

Because I want to wake up next to you every morning for the rest of my life.

I want to marry you, because you inspire me to be the best person I can be.

Because you encourage me when I feel like life is hopeless.

Because you remind me of my worth and give me a reason to smile every damn day.
