Her's a call I just made to Otaheite at Couples Negril:
"My Dearest Anita,
Earlier today, I had the opportunity to affirm my vows of love and marriage to you. And I truly count it as an awesome blessing to, once again, try to tell you how important you are to me. It was a beautiful moment in time that I will treasure nearly as much as the day you accepted me as your husband. But there was not enough time to tell you all that is in my heart. So I have decided to try – though inadequate it may be – to tell you now.
Anita, you are my breath and beating heart. I had no idea that anyone could fill me as completely as you have. But you have filled me with hope and joy and laughter. You are my breath and beating heart.
You are my courage. Without you in my life, I would be complacent and satisfied with whatever life threw my way. Instead, I have become hungry for all that life can and should be! I am encouraged by you to keep striving, to keep moving forward, and to experience all that we can find – to see as much of this world and live as much of it as we can! You are my courage.
You are my conscience. As much as I would like to think that I am a caring and giving person, I often stray from that path. I sometimes forget to be compassionate. I sometimes forget that I have been given an incredible gift, and that not everyone has been as fortunate in life as I have. When I don’t remember these things, it is you that gently reminds me. The strength of your love and compassion for others in this world are an example that I can only hope to achieve one day. You are my conscience.
You are my love. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with you as my best friend, my lover, and my wife. The love you show me everyday, in so many ways – your patience, your touch, your compassion, your gentle spirit, and your faith in me – makes me humble and ashamed. It makes me realize that I can never repay you for all that you have given me. But know this – I will spend the rest of my life trying because you are my love.
Please, always know how deeply your love has touched me. Always know that you are such an incredible Woman to me. Always know that you are, without a doubt, the grooviest chick I have ever known. And always know, how very much I love you.
Love,
Forever and Always,
Alan"

Randymon,
Thank you for reading my letter to Anita! It was a perfect ending to a perfect day - not quite as good as our wedding day, but very, very close! Couples Negril will always be a place of magical romance for Anita and I.
We had so much fun last week! The Jamaican vibe is a part of us and our lives together. Thank you Couples Negril! |

Randy,
Can you please email me if this is something you could do for me? lmoench@rcn.com
My husband and I are going to Couples OR Jan 5-12 2008. It will be our 10th wedding anniversary and we are going to renew our vows.
Since I never got to wear a "real" wedding dress, I am wearing one that day and this is our first trip anywhere. But leading up to our trip, we have had a really hard time of it... almost getting separated or a divorce. All he wants to do is make me happy. Now I just want my husband to know that I just love him no matter what comes our way.
thank you |

Greetings to all:
Here is a great letter that I just read to Paul from Laura:
"To Paul,
Can you imagine what our lives would be like if I'd decided not to respond to your ad? We'd never have met and everything would be different. All day and night, from the moment I met you, I saw only your face, heard only your voice, wanted only to be with you. I find that I have more to say when I am around you, I think more interesting thoughts. I love lying on your chest at the end of the day, listening to your heartbeat, feeling close and safe as you cradle me in your arms. I NEED your elbows on my dinner table, your hair on my pillow, your kisses on my lips, your hands on my body, and your breath on my skin. Being in love with you is like being in an altered state, everything feels heightened. From the goose bumps I get with your gentle touch, to listening to you breath, to smelling your cologne. Without you, I couldn't taste the sourness of apples, the tartness of red wine and everyday would be Monday.
We have been through so much together, and I can still say that no one compares to you. I don't think that I have ever met anyone so confusing yet so desireable. Nothing so bad has happened between us that we need to turn off the stars, dismantle the moon , or put out the sun. I feel as if I carry your heart in my heart, you are inside me like my own pulse. You have been a prism, refracting my life into a rainbow. In my mind, we can be the lovers that that others gaze on enviously.
On January 10th, on our 10th anniversary, we shall renew our vows and celebrate our decade together. There is nothing that I want to do more than this. To the fresh innocent feelings in our early days, we can now add layers of mature love. When we promise ourselves to each other again, know that my faith is built on you... make it a fine and solid structure. Lets never let our love get lost in the mediocrity of everyday life. I have never told you this, but sometimes I wish I could marry you every year. Just to have that moment of solemnity, that breathless, frightening, holy feeling of total commitment to another person.
These words have been a fusion of my mind and heart. I don't know how else to let you know how much I love you and what it is that I feel for you. If there ever comes a time when I do not offer you an " I love you", it shall be because I am no longer on this earth.
All my love,
Laura"
Well Done, Laura.

Randy,
My husband and I have experienced some pretty rocky times.. We are looking forward to renewing our vows in COR.. However, knowing how much pain we've been through, my husband kept asking me if getting remarried was really what I wanted!
I am committed to the vows I made... why else do you say for better or worse? It has just been hard having him believe it.
I have often wondered why the hurtful things we say to each other as human beings, seem to make more of an impact on our emotions and feelings than the loving things we say. People seem to remember the hurt more than they remember the love.
I tried to focus on getting my point across to make more of an impact in a loving way...
Randy, I wanted to be home when my husband got this surprise, He ordered pizza and I kept trying to delay the time to go and get it without ruining the surprise. When I got home, my husband was waiting for me with tears brimming in his eyes having just hung up the phone with you. I don't think I have ever seen him feeling so loved!!
What a wonderful way to start getting excited for our trip.. we are now counting down the days!!
I have written the letter out in calligraphy on parchment and put it in a frame to save forever.
Thank you so much for making the call from London!! You are fantastic and I hope to meet you when we are in Jamaica! You must have the best job in the world!

Your assistance, suggestions, ideas would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at angelle.trimble@cherokee.K12.ga.us |

And from Melissa to Ron...
I called him at home and was put on speakerphone so that all his family could hear the surprise from Melissa.
"Dearest Ron,
People said it would not last- even placed bets on it. Well we have been together for 19 years and still going strong! I am so grateful God placed the two of us together. I truly believe that we were meant for each other. Our relationship is so strong. You have taught me so much over the years. You are more than just my husband; you are my best friend, my soul mate, my teacher, and my lover. I am so proud of you and all of your accomplishments. Two years ago you came to me stating you wanted to complete your college degree. You explained that it would be a huge commitment not only for you but for our family as well. You were so concerned about all that we may have to give up in order for you finish up school. You were able to accomplish your goal and I am so proud of you! The past 2 years you were able to continue working a full time job, exceeding all of their requirements, go to school and still succeed in being a wonderful husband and father. Our boys look up to you in so many ways. You are a wonderful role model for the two of them. I know that all you teach them in life the woman that wins their heart will be a blessed woman- just like I am having you by my side. I love and respect you more than you will ever know. Thank you for all that you have given to me over the years now it is time for me to give something to you. On December 1st the 2 of us (yes just the 2 of us) will be heading to Couples Negril Jamaica for one week of total relaxation! So you have 2 weeks to get your affairs in order at work. Everything else has been taken care of. I love you! Melissa"
Congratulations Ron. After juggling work and school for the past two years, we are so happy to have you relax with us...

A call from the CRo (me) surprised Becca at work. Her co-workers put me on a speakerphone so they could all hear what Greg wrote...
"To my lovely wife Becca,
When I awake each morning, my thoughts are filled with ways that I can show you how much I care. The only problem is that I very seldom get the chance to follow through on them. So I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much you mean to me. I am not a master with words, but these all come from the heart, so please bear with me:
When I wake up in the morning and you have already left for work, I get in the shower and can still smell the scent of your shampoo, I know that I can’t live without you.
When I come home from work late to find an amazing supper already on the table even though you had just as busy a day as I did, I know that I can’t live without you.
When I look into the eyes of our sons as they play games with you and can see their eyes filled with joy and admiration, I know that I can’t live without you.
When I dream of growing old together and having someone by my side as the years pass by, knowing all along that I am so lucky to have found my soul mate at such an early age, I know that I can’t live without you.
When I am fighting my way through the daily grind of work and school, and you are always there to help me pick up the slack, I know that I can’t live without you.
When I am sick and have to go to the emergency room at 1:00 in the morning and you stay with me through the night, awake while I sleep, I know that I can’t live without you.
When I am feeling like the whole world is just trying to keep me down, and you are there to prop me back up again, I know that I can’t live without you.
When you come home from work and tell me that something bad happened to one of your patients and you are reduced to tears because you care about them as if they were part of our family, I know that I can’t live without you.
When the whole house is a mess after the kids and I have done nothing but lounge around all day and play games, and you come home and help clean up without saying a word, I know that I can’t live without you.
When you have to get up early to go to work the next morning and you stay up late to help put the kids to bed, read them a book, and then put on something sexy just for me, I know that I can’t live without you.
When you spend all week snacking on chocolate and popcorn and then get up on the weekends to go work out so that you can still be the drop dead gorgeous woman I married, I know that I can’t live without you.
When you suffer through the freezing cold and stay with me till the end of the game, even though the Cyclones are losing by 50 points, I know that I can’t live without you.
And last but not least, when we are headed to bed, and you tell me how much you love me and kiss me every night without exception, forgetting any arguments and selflessly forgiving all that I have done wrong, I know that I can’t live without you.
There are a million other things that tell me each day that I can’t live without you, only a few of which I can put into words. You see, without you, I would not be the man that I am today. I am so honored to call you my wife, lover, and best friend. The little things you do each day have a huge effect on my life, although I don’t always let you know that. We have been through many rough patches over the years, but anything can be overcome by the love and passion that we have for each other. I am so looking forward to spending our vacation in Jamaica this year, in the place that we call our second home. It amazes me how much we found out about each other in a weeks time last year, even though we had already been married for 10 years. I would like to get to know you even better this year for that is what I consider to be the most cementing part of our marriage. We know each others likes, dislikes, and what makes each other “tick”. What I have found, is you are the one that makes it all worth while. All of the difficult trials in life are worth it since you are at my side. Know this when you look in the mirror, the world is a much better place because you are in it, and each and every person that you meet has been blessed to have been touched by your selflessness and love for all. The kids and I are the luckiest of all because we get to experience the most loving woman and mother imaginable. Thanks you for being that special someone that I had been looking for. And to imagine, it all started because a scrawny guy was staring at you across the volleyball court.
To wrap this up, I want for you to travel with me in your mind to Ocho Rios. I wake up before you and get to sit on the balcony drinking coffee while listening to the ocean in the background while the most beautiful woman in the world gently wakes up to embrace the day. I think that things could not possibly get any better, and then you tell me to come back to bed. Believe me, it instantly gets better. Moments like these are proof of what the magic of true love can bring to anyone’s life. Thank you so much for bringing that magic to our marriage.
I love you so much, and there is nothing in this world that can change that.
Your loving husband, Greg
So please hurry up and get packing so that you can be ready to go on time for once!!!!"

Randymon,
Thank you very much for reading my letter to my lovely wife. She said there was not a dry eye in the whole unit. The kind of personal attention and the way that you personally do things like this just to promote romance is what makes us say "WOW". Thanks again Randy for a memory that she will never forget.

Erich was packing for their trip (tomorrow) and Ava asked me to call and read this to him.
"Hey Baby,
I have often heard the saying, "It's better late than never" and must now agree that this is true. We had know each other for so long but several circumstances prolonged our connecting. It had only been a few days since we connected and I had to travel half way around the world for a two-week stay. I thought you would surely forget about me. I could think of nothing else but you on the 14 hour flight. To my surprise you called me several times every day - you did not care about the time difference. Being away from you made me realize that I wanted to be with you...always. I knew I loved you as I sat and watched the rain at 3:30 a.m. and wrote this for you:
Nature's Rise
Rhythmic beats of tropical rain
Summoned me from fitful sleep
Drenched with memories of you.
Aroused by the intensity
I rose to pay homage to this symphony; every drop
Watching intently as they coupled with the earth
Birthing familiar smells
Revealing the essence of God.
Early rising birds in concert
Serenade the dawn with melodious calls
As nocturnal worshippers make their reluctant retreat.
With first light of morning
Visions of you take shape
It was then that I called you from my thoughts
To celebrate this newness of life
Emerging with the energy of the rising sun....
Baby I love you more that poetry or prose can capture...I am so blessed to have you in my life. Nothing happens before the time and this is our time...to love and to cherish each other for as long as we both live. I love you!!!
Let's have a blast in Jamaica.
Your Jamaican Girl,
Ava"
Have a blast, indeed!

Greetings:
I surprised Colleen on her cell phone and read this from her husband, Scott:
"To my lovely wife Colleen,
Reunited after 20 years apart, not in my wildest dreams could I imagine that we'd be where we are now. While trying to put our 20 class reunion together,
I was so excited to be contacting you to come and participate. I knew you would enjoy seeing everybody, but I secretly had another a separate agenda. We shared such a special moment years before during an interlude on homecoming night, a spark that I never really forgot. Once I convinced you to come to the reunion, I was filled with excitement. When you walked through that door it was like homecoming night all over again. We talked for the entire night and I really didn't care that I didn't speak to anyone else. You were so beautiful then, just as you are today. Now it's 7yrs. later, 5 yrs. married. It hardly feels like 5yrs. have passed. So many things have happened, both of the kids are out of the house, you finding about having colon cancer, then showing the strength and courage to beat it. My heart is so full of love for you that I want to burst. You often say that you are the one that has gotten things right this time in marriage, but I'm the one who's got it right. I am so proud of you, you are committed to your country, over 20 yrs. in the military, you are a wonderful mother, beautiful wife, and best of all, my best friend. There isn't a moment I don't want to be with you nor can I imagine you not being in my life.
I am hopelessly in love with you and I am totally fine with that. I love you Today, Tomorrow, and Forever. Spending a week in paradise with you is just another moment in time I will cherish forever.
your loving husband,
Scott"
Way to go Scott.

Thank you for 25 wonderful years of love and companionship. I have always considered our marriage and our love to be life's greatest gift to me. I value our love and our family above all things. I am so lucky to have met my soul mate and to have fallen so deeply in love with you. I am always proud to be with you. You are always the most beautiful woman everywhere we go. When I hold you in my arms everything is all right. Jamaica is a special place for us. I love walking on the beach with you. I love watching the sunsets together and drinking Blue Mountain Coffee..I love lying in our beach chairs and holding hands. Thank you for my life. Thank you for your love and support. Thank you for helping me heal this year. I love you Rene, I always will. Steve"

Last night - before heading out to dinner with friends - I called Earl to read this letter from Tonia:
"Dear Freakboy,
April 26, 2003 is such a special day for me and that evening changed my life forever. On that day, I woke up thinking it was going to be a day just like any other. Little did I know, that night, I was about to meet my soul mate but most importantly, my very best friend.
I am so thankful for all you have done for me and our family. I am forever grateful that you opened your heart to my son. You adopted him and gave him what every little boy so desperately needs…. A loving DAD! I don’t think you will ever really know how much that means to me and how much respect I have for you. Every day, when I see him look at you, I can see the admiration and the love that he has for you. That warms my heart in ways that words cannot even describe.
I know we have had our ups and downs but there is one thing that has never changed; I love you more and more every passing day. It’s because of you and your strength, that I realize that we can overcome anything
in our way. I often think about how crazy we are and how we do things that make each other laugh so hard that our stomachs hurt. You let me
be me, no matter how silly or how serious and I adore you for that.
Hours from now, we will be on our way to spend 10 glorious, relaxed and romantic days at CSA and I want you to know that you are the only one I will ever want to be my “cabana boy.” You’re the only one I want holding me in the ocean and walking with me along the beach at night. You are my true love.
My life has forever changed the day I met you and I look forward to all of our future days together, happy and in love.
Thank you for everything that you do for me to make my life a little bit easier………. Thank you for being you!!!
Loving you forever and always,
Tonia"

Uhoh! So the plan was for me to call CSA yesterday at 12:30 pm and read this letter from Melynda to Bruce just before they left their room to be married on the beach.
Instead, I was delayed in an airport. I did call today and spoke to Bruce. Melynda read her letter to him directly so in some aspect, the deed was done... Sorry Melynda, but I understand you wedding day was picture perfect.
"My Darling Bruce,
Of all the special dreams I’ve ever wanted in my life, the one I wanted most came true….when you asked me to be your wife. I am so glad that you are a part of my life. It is a privilege…..to know you….to share myself with you….and to walk together on the paths that take us in so many beautiful directions.
Somehow, out of all the twists and turns our lives could have taken, and out of all the chances we might have missed, it almost seems like we were given a meant-to-be moment…..to meet, to get to know one another, and to set the stage for a special togetherness.
Bruce, today is our wedding day...and I'm the happiest bride in all the world. In my heart I feel that there's never been a love as beautiful as the love we have for each other. Our marriage seems so right, so full of promise and fulfillment. And today, I want you to know how happy I am to become your wife, and I want to thank you for taking a chance with me…..and most of all, thank you for loving me.
I love you for so many reasons…..not just the big things, like your honesty, patience, and understanding…
And not just the little things, like your smile or your gentle touch…..
It’s everything you do…..as a friend, partner, and life’s companion….that makes you the man I love…and the man of my dreams.
When we first met, I was a different person….I had been worn down and torn apart….and felt as though my life as I had once known it was over. When you came into my life….you gave me life. You gave me strength & courage…you gave me hope, and more than that, you gave me a reason to want to live again.
Most of all, you gave me your heart….a heart that is so full of love. You made me want to take a chance again…to love again….. and you showed me how to love again. I so love the way you love me…. Strong and wild…..Slow and easy…..Heart and soul…So completely.
I could list a million things I love about you, but they all come down to one reason…..
I could never live without you….and I hope and pray that I can make you at least half as happy and feel half as loved as you make me feel everyday.
We’ve been through some hard times…it’s been a rough road, and I added a lot to that by pushing you away and gave you many chances and reasons to walk away…..but you stayed, and I thank God everyday that you did. I still feel at times that I don’t deserve someone as understanding and wonderful as you. I have never in my life known anyone as patient, as kind, and as loving as you.
When I am with you, I know that I am in the presence of someone who makes my life more complete than I ever dreamed it could be. I turn to you for trust, and you give it openly. I look to you for inspiration, for answers, and for encouragement, and….not only do you never let me down…you lift my spirits up and take my thoughts to places where my troubles seem so much farther away and my joys feel like they’re going to stay in my life forever.
YOU are my better half, my best friend….my soul mate. And I want you to know that my world is reassured by you, my tomorrows need to have you near. My smiles depend on you, and my heart is so thankful that you’re here. You bring out the best in me….you always have and I know you always will. With you, I finally feel complete.
I’ve already given you my heart, but today…… as we become man and wife, I want you to know deep down that yes, I am giving you my heart…. totally, completely and forever…. and I do love you with all of my heart and soul. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you….I want to grow old with you and I promise I will always be by your side.
I have no doubts….. I have no regrets….. and above all, I have no fear…. because I know in my heart that we were meant to be together. And, just as your wedding band says…..”with you I can fly” I know together….we can make it through and do anything. You are all I need when the sun comes up…..and all I want when the sun goes down.
All my love….forever & for always,
Melynda"

I called CNG at 8:00 am - may have woken up Sean -
"To my handsome love bug,
I have wrestled for months on how to express the feelings that are so deeply embedded in my heart, but every time I tried, I have failed miserably. So please forgive my poor effort and accept these words as I think I can say it in no better way.
Before the foundations of the Earth had fully set, God had you in mind for me and I for you. And in His grand, awesome, and perfect wisdom He fully equipped you with all you needed to love me the way He loves us - unconditionally, a love that surpasses ALL understanding!
Honey, you are a perfect example of some of Gods best handy work. You have an innate ability to see in people what no one else is capable of or has the patience to see. You see their potential just like you see the potential in me. You touch the lives of all who meet you and just like the lady that sat next to you on a plane once said, "Meeting you has changed my life forever!"
I often tease you about being so driven, but in reality I admire it. I admire your determination and I look to you to teach me. In the past you and I both have questioned our roles in this partnership, both pulling and tugging for the role of leader/head. But I am here today to say, lead me, guide me, teach me, for you truly make me a better woman!
Your ability to look inward and work hard to better yourself as a man, father, and husband is something I love about you. You do it knowing you will never be perfect, but knowing that does not keep you from striving for perfection. And yet you still manage to have patience with me and my more than imperfect ways. You accept me for who I am - flaws and all.
I don't know why you love me........
I have never been with someone who loves me enough to be brutally honest with me; exposing my flaws and encouraging me always to be the best Angelle that I can be. Again, I learn and grow from you and by the example you set. You are an excellent provider, a wonderful protector, an amazing lover, and my best friend. You've filled my life with the music of dreams that you continually help come true and of hopes of an abundant life that I can spend loving you.
I already love in you your beauty, but I am only beginning to love in you what is eternal and ever precious - your heart, your soul. Beauty is easy to fall in love with and is just as easy to fall out of love with; but the soul, one must take the time to learn to know. Believe me, nothing on earth is given without labor, not even love the most beautiful and natural of feelings.
And for me, the perfect thought is us together forever. The sweetest word is your name. And the greatest thing is your love. Every silent prayer that has left my mind, all the empty words that have left my mouth and chased my lips, and all the lonely tears that have escaped my eyes have made me who I am, one that is being molded to love you more!
For all the yesterdays you have filled with special memories, and for all of the today's you fill with your strength, support, and joy I will ALWAYS love you........ yesterday, today, and forever more!
Our Journey Continues.....Happy Birthday!
Love,
Angelle"
Back to Sleep now you two.

A little tardy in posting this love letter from Jess to Roger.
"Dear Roger,
When Hurricane Dean was threatening to give Jamaica a hell of a beating, I was neurotically checking the Couples message board about 20 times a day to see how the island was faring. That’s when I saw the offer from Randymon (you know him better as Randy Russell) to call and read a love letter to your significant other. Simple enough, right?
After I arranged a time and date with Randy, it dawned on me that I would have to actually write the letter in pretty short order. And I got to thinking about all the various things I could say to you:
You’re kind-hearted and gentle in spirit.
You’re my most trusted confidante.
You make me laugh like nobody else can.
You understand me like nobody else does.
You’re my personal cheerleader.
You’re the most comforting presence in my life.
You’re extremely generous with your attention, affection, and forgiveness.
Each and every single one of those things is true. But I can’t put into words the every day things, the seemingly mundane details that tie everything together. It’s little surprises, like the Christmas Vacation DVD. It’s bringing me medicine and checking on me when I don’t feel well. It’s covering my shoulder up with the blanket at night. It’s calling to see if I need anything before you leave work. It’s life. It’s wonderful.
I know it can be corny to quote from songs, but there was this song I used to listen to when I was little (yes, it’s country- please don’t run screaming). The refrain often runs through my head when I think of you. It’s simple, but it sums things up quite nicely:
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend.
I love you, sweetie. I hope this has been a nice surprise in an otherwise crazy time. I can’t promise it will happen next month, or even next year, but things will be back to normal in a relatively short time and we’ll wonder why we were even worried about it in the first place. Let’s celebrate by going to Couples Negril on Sunday, whaddya say?
Love,
Jess"
I hope you had a great time at CNG

I consider myself a pretty tough little cookie, but I'll tell you what! - these letters to the S.O.'s bring a lump to my throat!
I could pick any number of great lines in the threads to tell you what I think of my Sue!
Keep up the good work Randy! An excellent service.
See you in June!

Here is Allison's love letter to Justin I just read to Justin. A bit misty-eyed at the end, I must admit...
"To the love of my life,
On this day, three years ago, I nervously told you I wanted to be introduced as your girlfriend. On that same day, several hours later, you made me your famous barbeque chicken and we had our first kiss. I remember that day as if it were yesterday; however, that day, I never would have believed that in a few years, we would be married. I had been so lonely and prayed for God to send me someone to love for the rest of my life and would love me the same in return. God sent you to me and I will be forever thankful.
We fell for each other so quickly and I have so many wonderful memories of our new love, our firsts together, and the time we spent making plans & sharing dreams for our future together. I love seeing those plans and dreams become reality.
A little more than 10 months ago, you proposed at “our” waterfall; I was so happy! And almost 6 months ago, we became husband & wife. It was more perfect than I could ever imagine! We promised to love each other for eternity, for better and for worse. I know we sometimes have trouble adjusting to married life and living together, but always remember our vows and one of my favorite quotes: “If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.” We are meant to be; perfect for each other! You are my husband, soul mate, lover, and best friend. When I get good news, you are the first person I want to celebrate with; and when I receive bad news, I know you will be there to comfort me. We have been through so much already and our love has grown even stronger. You are such an amazing man; I am so incredibly proud to call you my husband.
I think about you all day, everyday. Whenever I make plans for something, I think of you first. When I’m not with you, I miss you & count down the time until I’ll see you again. I love making dinner for you, cuddling with you, and just being together. I absolutely love knowing I get to spend every night with you for the rest of my life. I love falling asleep in your arms and waking up to your kisses. I love when you kiss my nose or when you come up behind me & wrap your arms around me. I honestly don’t know what I would do without you. I can’t imagine living without you. “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I’ll never have to live without you.” I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
Thank you for making me the happiest woman in the world. I can’t wait to start our family & grow old with you. We had such an amazing honeymoon and I believe our love grew stronger during that trip. That’s why I decided to take this opportunity to have this love letter read to you to help us remember the memories we made in Jamaica.
Remember what Pastor Rick said: “Nothing is easier than saying words and nothing is harder than living them day after day. What you promise today must be renewed and re-decided tomorrow.” I promise to live out my vows to you each and everyday. I love you so much and want to make you as happy as you make me. Thank you for loving me. I can’t wait to spend our future together and make even more dreams become reality. I can hardly wait to give you your first child. I know it will happen when the time is right. Until then, we’ll continue enjoying each other and loving each other unconditionally. I promise to love you with a full heart. You have my heart and always will.
I love you always & forever,
Allison"

Earlier today, I read Brian this letter from Amy.
"My dearest Amy,
I just want to let you know how much you mean to me.
From the time I get up in the morning I try and think of ways to show you how much you mean to me. My love for you grows with each passing hour. When I’m at work I think about you and Megan constantly. Your faces are all that keeps me going through the daily grind. The knowledge that I have My soul mate, My best friend, My one true love waiting for me at the end of the day is the best feeling in world. The way I look at our daughter and see you in her eyes is the greatest gift anyone could ask for. She has her whole life ahead of her and I could think of no one better to guide her on her journey than you. You have the strength to show her how to stand up for herself and not let anyone push her around. You have the intelligence to teach her how to make smart decisions and stand on her own two feet. The sense of humor to teach her that life can be fun and enjoyable despite what life throws at you. You have the compassion to teach her to help someone when you can and to always be there when someone needs you. I know she will learn all these things from you because I have learned them myself from being with you and seeing them first hand. As we take this journey they call life together I can’t wait to learn more. I look so forward to our 8 days alone in Jamaica just you, me, and more great memories. I love you with all my heart.----- Brian"

Randymon,
Thank you SO very much for reading my love letter to my husband today. He called and said "I just got a call from someone who read me a very, very, very, very nice love letter and I love you so much, too." Since he had to coach a basketball game tonight, we had celebrated our 3 years together last Friday; having you call and read that letter was the perfect way to make today special, too, even though we didn't get to spend much time together. Thank you again so much.

Greetings to all:
just caught Darcy by surprise at work. Here is Leanne's letter to him.
"Darcy,
This is a message from your wife. I heard about your plans for a trip to Jamaica. I just learned that you booked a trip with your wife… I mean …your girlfriend on Feb 26 at Couples Negril. After almost 8 years of marriage, I found this hard to believe and to be honest, I was stunned. But it’s true. I guess I’ve been so busy at home with our three small children that I didn’t expect this.
I know that this girl you'll be with plans to hold your hand and watch the sunset, dance with you on the beach, and enjoy every romantic minute. I want you have fun with her, and I hope seeing her breathes a little of the light-hearted, fun side of life back into you. The last few years of work have been especially demanding for you, and you’ve sacrificed so much for your family. You deserve to be with someone who makes you smile, who is fun to talk to and be with, and who doesn’t worry about time, housework, bills, and dirty diapers. You need to relax, unwind, and enjoy what Couples has to offer. Without a man like you in this world, there would be 4 very lonely, lost, hopeless people… SO… I want you to go meet her.
I know she can’t wait to meet you. All I ask is that you tell her how much you love her, and for every kiss she gives you, you give her three times as many. She loves you more than you know.
I will be waiting for you with open arms, AND A RED STRIPE!
Meet me by the pool!
Your wife,... I mean your girlfriend, starting in Negril...
Leanne"
I love the sentiment. What a great way to reignite that spark that first brought the two of you together. Sometimes we all need to remember how we treated our spouses when we first were dating - like boyfriend and girlfriend.
Have a great time at Couples Negril Darcy and Leanne.

Randy, you made Darcy's day by reading my letter to him. Writing it put me in the right frame of mind for Couples, and hearing it did the same for him! He can't wait to leave his wife at home for a week and meet his girlfriend there! What a special touch. Thanks so much, and we will have a GREAT time! |
