hi, love.

Before today,
there are a few things
I want to tell you.

···

Dear Pineapple,

I don’t know when it happened or how it happened but I am so grateful that it did. More than anything else I’m grateful that it’s you. It’s you that I get to love. It’s you that I get to build this new chapter of my life with. It’s you that I get to walk through life with from this day forward.

I love you so much and I want to keep loving you for as long as I have breath in my lungs. I pray that God continues to keep us together, to strengthen what we’re building and to shape our relationship into one that glorifies Him.

I also want you to know that I will always be by your side. I promise to be there through the highs and lows, through the easy days and the difficult days. I promise to pray with you, to encourage you and to keep choosing you every single day. I promise to continue loving you with all my heart and to stand beside you no matter what.

I’ll always do my best to make sure you’re happy, to give you reasons to smile, to annoy and ragebait you (deep down I know you like it) and above all to support you in every way I can. I’ll cheer you on, believe in you and do everything in my power to help you pursue your dreams and achieve your goals.

Thank you for being the person I get to love. I thank God for you every day and I can’t wait to see all He has in store for us.

With all my love,
Awakhiwe.

Father,

Thank You for allowing our paths to cross.

Thank You for teaching us what love should look like.

Help me lead her closer to You every single day.

If You allow it, let me spend the rest of my life loving her the way Christ loves His church.

Amen.

there is
one last thing.

do you
trust me?

(that’s the only answer I’ll accept)

Before I say anything else, I have a burning question to ask.

Would you do me the incredible honor of allowing me to be your man?

Would you let me ragebait and annoy you and only you for the rest of our lives?

Would you let me love you intentionally, pray with you, laugh with you, grow with you and walk beside you as we pursue God together?

I don’t want to simply call you my girlfriend, I want to choose you every day, support your dreams, celebrate your victories, hold your hand through life’s challenges and build something beautiful that glorifies God.

So my love… will you be my girl?

(make me the happiest guy ever)

this chapter begins the moment you say yes.

and forever, after that.

Thank You, Lord,
for her.
