I never thought it was fair for me to give wedding advice, because I feel like I have won the lottery of all lotteries and there’s not really any action that can be taken to get the marriage results I’ve been blessed with.  I know everyone tells you that their marriage is “extra special” or “one of a kind,” but this doesn’t even begin to describe us.  My feelings for Mitchell are incomparable. I try and imagine the overwhelming size of the Earth, and all the countless years people have been living on it.  How did our paths cross?  It doesn’t feel like it could possibly have been by chance.  It feels like an infinite, magnetic strength in our hearts fought to be together since the beginning of time.

I ache for Mitchell.  Every single day, the first breath I take is a breath of gratitude knowing that all it takes is a simple, slight shift of my head and I am able to see my entire life and reason for existing resting right beside me.  When I stand in a crowd, my eyes fight to find his face, because his eyes are my eyes’ home.  When I fold his shirts, I hold them against my face and smell him and become intoxicated with joy and with happiness.  When he holds my hand, our fingers are locked together like a key opening the door to a star-gate of tranquility.

I am so happy.  You’ve heard about the veil that covers and separates this life from the spiritual world.  Someday it will be lifted and our eyes will be opened.  I feel as though a similar type of veil was lifted the day Mitchell kissed me for the first time.  Like a new world and a new level of happiness grew inside me which I never knew existed and was never aware of.  I looked at life differently, it was a beautiful dream that I never wanted to wake up from.  I genuinely believe, four years later, I am still dreaming.  And someday maybe I’ll wake up because there is no way this could possibly be reality. 

I love him so much.

You grow up as a child, as a teenager, looking out for yourself.  Basing all of your choices on what you can do to make your life better.  It’s a fantastic change of heart the day your desires change and everything you do is focused entirely on another individual.  The focal point of your heart transfers to a different object and you have graduated to a new life-long mission of making this new person happy.

Our love is so special.  It’s as if God took his finger and placed it on one marriage in the entire universe and said, “Your love can be exceptional.”
