I can’t wait to remind Jess each day just how special she is and how she completes me and enriches my life. From this day forward, I dedicate my existence to my partner, my better half, and my best friend, Jessica.”
Sigh. You’ve surely snagged yourself a keeper, Jess, and we may have just fallen in love, as well.
