My Fiance

I am getting married one month from tomorrow!  I’m so excited and so ready.  I’m completely disenchanted with all the details of the wedding and just am just ready to be married to Brian.

I don’t think I’ve ever taken the opportunity to publicly brag about him on here so I think it’s about time for me to write a blog post about how awesome he is.

·         The first thing that struck me about Brian is that he pursued me.  He didn’t play any weird games; I never had to guess if he was feeling one way or another.  He was always open and direct with me about how he felt and what his intentions were.   

·         I love that I am completely comfortable being myself around Brian. We have so much fun being silly together and laughing at things that wouldn’t be funny to anyone else but us.  I love that over the course of our relationship we have formed our own brand of weird… that just keeps getting weirder as time goes on.

·         Brian is committed to his faith, and committed to making that a part of our marriage and family.  He seeks out counsel from other godly men and is always willing to find new ways for us to grow together spiritually.

·         I love that Brian is honest- almost to a fault. He plans surprises for me, then gets really excited about them and tells me about it before he executes the surprise.  It’s really endearing.  In all seriousness though I know I never have to worry about him keeping anything from me or telling me any half-truths. 

·         Brian and I are both fairly independent, which is my nice way saying that we’re stubborn.  This has led to a few rather frustrating arguments.  However, Brian does this thing where mid-argument, he reminds me of his love and commitment to me.  It’s really sweet and kind of frustrating.  I’ll be fuming mad or crying or some other sort of explosive emotion, and he will remind me that from the moment he said he loved me for the first time that he had resolved that he was committed to me for life.  And no matter what the issue is that we’re hung up on, there is nothing that will change his love.  He assures me that we’re going to figure it out and be better for it because we’re in this thing for the rest of our lives.  It’s really reassuring and disarming and makes it hard to remain too angry at him.

·         He does lots of little things to show he cares.  He sneaks into my apartment when I’m not there and leaves me cute little notes; he gives me flowers and always finds a creative way to do it- like sending them to my office or leaving them on my porch. He sends me silly texts and makes me laugh when I’m in boring meetings at work, and cooks me dinner when I’ve had a stressful day.

·         I’ll end this entry on a shallow note.  My fiancé is a hottie.  For real.  He looks awesome shirtless.

I could go on… there really are endless reasons why I love this man.  I’m so grateful that God brought us together and I have the rest of my life to find more reasons to love him.
