Agape

You will be my husband in 14 days.  There's a lot to do before then!  Thank you for all that you are doing--I love my little garden of sparkly flowers in the living room floor, where you have been sitting and gluing our centerpieces together :)  Thank you for also reminding me that our marriage is something so much more important than our wedding.  Thank you for the way that you have protected our relationship and this precious time of preparing to be husband and wife, not letting it be obscured by the stress of wedding planning.

There is so much that I like about you.  But the decision to love you comes from somewhere else.  When I've got nothing left to give, and I've forgotten everything important, I'm still going to love you.  Agape literally means to prefer, to choose one way over all the rest.  When the whole world is crying for my attention, in the confusion I will still choose you.  I value you above everything else the world has to offer.  I decided long ago that there could be no one else for me.  

This song is true in the mountains and the valleys, for better or for worse.  (And regardless of the fact that I do not make videos very well.)
