The One.

I know my husband is out there. The man God has chosen for me. I know that in perfect timing we will be introduced and everything with fall into place perfectly. Although I don’t know who this man is, I dream of our life together daily.

On our wedding day he’s going to shed a tear when he sees me walking down the aisle. I imagine him being a lot taller than me and carrying me down the aisle after our “I Do’s.” When it comes time to cut the cake, he’ll lightly smush it in my face as I completely cover his.

I’m going to guess and say he’ll wake up at the crack of dawn. I can’t wait to wake up to him kissing my forehead every morning… I can imagine him trying to cuddle before crawling out of bed, even though he knows I’m not a morning person. I can picture him getting up & getting ready for work. I’ll be laying in bed annoyed that he leaves the water running when he brushes his teeth. I’ll finally get out of bed because I’ll smell the coffee brewing. I’ll walk into the kitchen looking like a complete zombie and he’ll say “Good morning, beautiful.” When I finally get a good look at him without sleepy eyes, I’ll laugh at his bedhead hair and he’ll laugh even more at the sight of mine. I can see myself whipping up something quick for his breakfast. And before he leaves for work we’ll kiss about 20 times before he finally walks out the door.

I’m certain he’ll be a great father. If we have boys they’ll be a spitting imagine of him and if we have a girls they will be the definition of daddy’s little princess. I can already imagine our family playing in the backyard. He’ll be throwing all the kids in the pool and they’ll all be splashing me to jump in too. I can see our house becoming the neighborhood hang out spot. During football season we’ll have BBQ’s every Sunday, and I know he’ll be the master of the grill.

I have a feeling he’ll be a little messy. He’ll throw his clothes on the floor even though the hamper is two feet away. He’ll forget to take his shoes off at the door and track mud throughout the house on rainy days, but luckily I’m a clean freak, so he won’t even notice he does these things.

I know we’ll crank up old 90’s hits in the car and scream the words at the top of our lungs. There won’t be a single time when we’re out in public and he won’t hold my hand. He’ll always remember to open my car door. After a couple drinks we’ll look like complete goofballs on the dance floor. I know we’ll have more silly selfie photos than serious ones. I’ll always bring him a beer and he’ll always refill my wine glass. Our fights won’t last long because he hates seeing me cry and can’t stand not talking to me. He’ll always pick which restaurant to eat at, because I’m too indecisive. He’ll watch Pride & Prejudice with me whenever I want even though he’s sick of it.

I know he’ll be a Godly man. He’ll love the Lord with all of his being. I imagine us praying before every meal. I’ll make him lead the prayer 8 out of 10 times. We’ll be avid members in our church & attend as many functions as possible. I can picture us attending a home Bible study together or leading one ourselves. I know he’ll love me as Christ loved the church and will honor me as the weaker vessel.

We will be the couple that everyone is jealous of. I know he’ll remind me every day just how beautiful I am and just how much he loves me… He’ll be my best friend. I can dream all day of how I want my marriage to be, but I know our life will be better than I could have ever imagined. I pray for this man everyday and I pray that he’s praying for me too. I know the one is out there, and that is such a blessing.

Xoxo,
