OUR WEDDING - HER LETTER TO ME | Ali Gordon & Lydia Millen

So this is it. Five years later and so many adventures along the way. I can't wait to be able to call you my husband and spend the rest of my life with you. I want to thank you more than anything for being the person that you are every single day because you have made me the happiest little sloth with two little fur babies in the entire world. I know you're nervous about doing your speech and it's the one reason it took you so bloody long to ask me to marry you in the first place but I promise you'll smash it. Over the last five years since we met you have grown so much as a person and I don't think you give yourself enough credit for how amazing you are at all of this. So today really will be a walk in the park. I can't wait to see how good you look in your suit and to celebrate until the early hours of the morning with you. I love you, Lydia. When we first met I saw a challenge, a mystery and happiness that I never wanted in a partner. I promise to continually inspire you as you have always inspired me. I promise to rescue you from any spider that enters into your heart. Your belief in me is my driving force every day of my life. Your incredible kindness, warmth and love make me a better person every single day and I'm so incredibly grateful and lucky to have you as my forever. I promise to always be by your side no matter how crazy the adventures are. From 72-hour relays across northern Sweden, sleeping on buses and having our bums bitten by mosquitoes, to swimming with sharks and droning with dolphins and real uninterrupted alone time in the Maldives. I will always be by your side. Grace is gone. I can see all things so clear. It was all pretend. I can find a higher land. Over the clouds above. I can find a higher land. I just have to reach past the summit there alive. To reach higher love. Years have passed and I did not notice. Ladies and gentlemen, would you please be upstanding. And please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Millenbosch. She taught me that the most important foundation of love is friendship. And I found the most patient, caring and fortunately the most beautiful friend that I could ever wish for. She transformed my life and my own. Without her determination to succeed and live our best life, we wouldn't have the fortunate opportunities that we do today. We get to travel the world together, enjoy unique and exclusive experiences all because we work as a team. She's my biggest inspiration. When times were tough, she never gave up. She pushed me and herself to work all hours of the day. You really are the cherry on top. Speaking of cherries, tonight I'll be with my virginity. I love you. I love you too.
