I knew long before our wedding that I wanted to write Brandon a letter for him to read on the day of (yes even before I saw it on Pinterest). I have always been way better at expressing my feelings and thoughts on paper than in person and for as long as I can remember I have written down snipits of my life and poems of how I feel in random notebooks, so I knew I wanted to memorialize our day in a special way. I had actually written a little something three years prior (only a year after we had started dating) suggesting that I could already see Brandon being my husband and growing old with him which I also gave him to read on the day of. It actually ended up being almost more emotional than the actual letter I wrote for the day of the wedding.
When I suggested to Brandon that I wanted to write him a letter for the day of our wedding, he surprisingly agreed quite quickly to also write me one so that we could exchange them before we saw each other. Little did I know it was one of the most memorable moments from the entire day. Thankfully, because of our little "video project" (a wedding post soon to come) we were able to capture both of our emotional reactions to the letters on film which was really sweet to watch later since we weren't in each other's rooms when we read them.
For my letter, I wanted to make it a little extra special and start a new tradition as well. I had read somewhere a while back of a married couple that, in an effort to keep the spark alive in their relationship, started a love note journal tradition. The journal was where they would take turns writing a letter (of love, apology, encouragement, etc) at a random time (a high point or low point in their relationship) and hide it in a spot where the other half was bound to find it (ie. on top of the cereal bowls in the cabinet, in the passenger seat of their car, etc.). Our wedding day seemed like the perfect time to begin this tradition.
I purchased a nice leather bound journal at Barnes & Noble months before the wedding and on the day of the wedding while we were at the salon taking turns getting our hair done, I wrote my letter. It was actually a great emotional outlet on such a high energy, emotionally charged day. I started by telling Brandon how I felt about him when I first met him and continued on about how much our relationship has grown since then. Our relationship is by no means perfect ( I would never expect it to be) but I was actually able to tell him how much of a sense of stability he has been in my life. I added in the little poem/ writing that I mentioned earlier behind the letter I wrote the day of the wedding. The funny part is that even though the date from the past writing was on it, Brandon skimmed past it and assumed it was just an addition to what I had written that day. I guess that just goes to show sappy and romantic women are in comparison to men that I was even able to think that far in the future despite only being a year into our relationship. I ended my letter with a little note for him to look inside his ring for my gift to him that was a surprise engraving that says, "Love you forever 09.28.2013."
While we were both getting dressed with our bridal party in our respective rooms we had the Maid of Honor and Best Man deliver the letters to each other.
I'll let you see for yourself the pictures our wonderful photographer, Jamie Brant Photography captured during the writing and reading of our love letters.
And then as if the letter wasn't already enough (It was!), Brandon gave me a very thoughtful necklace that totally matched the pearl earrings I was wearing. He knew that I had decided not to wear a necklace originally because I couldn't find one that I thought did my dress justice. Little did I know, he found the perfect one that had an infinity symbol and a pearl.
The love letters were one of my absolute favorite memories from our wedding! I know that sounds kind of crazy but at the end of the day, the fact that I can go back and look at our letters and read about where each other's thoughts were on that day just makes it that much more special.
Peace,
Allison

ReplyDeleteAs God would have it, I was able to fix my marriage and I am forever grateful because losing my wife was something I couldn’t bear. All this happened because Dr Isikolo was there to help me fix the problem. I was separated from my wife because of cheating issues that escalated and she was torn apart and left me and the kids. It was indeed rough for me in the months that went by handling the whole parenting thing alone. I contacted Dr Isikolo and he reconciled us back together and she returned back home to me and the kids. On my own I was unable to fix it and have her back until Dr Isikolo intervened and for this, I had to also come out here and tell others about his good works. He is assured never to fail you if you are serious about fixing whatever issues you are having with your partner.

ReplyDeleteI let so many little fights and quarrel to get in between the love we had as a family. I was always angry with small things that did not matter. I let my emotions got the best of me and stayed permanently away from her and my kids. Things grew worse when she started seeing another man and I never knew about it. I neglected her and drove her into the arms of another man. I later found out all that has been going on and decided to seek help to fix my marriage. I realized that i was the problem even though it was too late. A friend of mine at work told me about Ilekhojie who assured me that my wife still loves me and she is willing to accept me back. He helped me performed a reconciliation ritual which fixed our marriage in less than a week. Just as he said, it will restore our lost connection and it did. Thank you Dr Ilekhojie. Ask him for help.

ReplyDeleteMy spouse and I went through one of the most difficult periods in our marriage. Constant arguments, misunderstandings, and emotional distance made it seem like our relationship was beyond repair. Feeling desperate for a fresh start, we sought guidance from Ilekhojie and participated in a reconciliation ritual. The experience gave us dedicated time to reflect on our relationship, express our feelings honestly, and recommit to treating each other with patience and respect. In the weeks that followed, we noticed gradual but meaningful changes. Our conversations became calmer, we listened to each other more carefully, and we were more willing to forgive past mistakes. Instead of reacting with anger, we began approaching disagreements with empathy and understanding. Rebuilding trust took consistent effort from both of us, but the ritual marked the beginning of that journey. Today, our marriage is healthier and more peaceful than it has been in years. Whether the ritual itself, the intention behind it, or our renewed commitment made the difference, it became an important turning point in our relationship, and we remain grateful to Ilekhojie for helping us.

ReplyDeleteHow my best friend lied against me because she wants my husband to herself. Please be careful about some persons you call your friend. I got married to my sweet high school boyfriend. We were living in peace and enjoying our life. We have two kids together. Everything was going well for us. My husband is not always around because he works in another city. So, one day my husband came back home and started acting funny. His behavior changed toward me and the kids. I was trying to know what's happening. He never gave me attention or listened. Some days later my husband asked me to take myself out of the house saying he is not interested in our marriage anymore. I tried to talk to him so he could tell me where I went wrong but all was in vain. his behavior and character toward us went out of control. I had no other choice than to leave the house with the kids. This made my heart bleed anytime I think about it because this is a man I loved with all my heart. I cried and my mind got worried for a good five months. My cousin who had a similar issue like mine told me to contact DR WALE telling me that DR WALE will save my marriage. When I contacted him, I told him how everything happened. I paid for all materials needed to get the job done. DR WALE found out that it was my best friend that was behind everything that is going on in my marriage. He said it was my friend that told my husband negative things DR WALE went forward to say they were both having an affair together. So, DR WALE did what he knows how to do best telling me my husband will come begging. DR told me that my best friend did an evil spell, so my husband turned his back on us. But all thanks to DR WALE my husband came begging me for forgiveness saying he doesn't know what came over him. because DR WALE has told me everything that happened it was easy to forgive him. We're living together as one big family now. If you want back your Ex-partner DR WALE is the right man to contact. His WhatsApp/Telegram: +2347054019402 OR Email: drwalespellhome@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI am truly grateful for the support I received from Ilekhojie after my relationship went through dark time. When my relationship seemed beyond repair, I felt lost and unsure of what to do because i loved my partner so much. Through Ilekhojie’s guidance and reconciliation ritual, I was able to communicate more honestly, reflect on my own actions, and approach reconciliation with patience and respect. Within a few days, my ex and I had meaningful conversations that helped us rebuild trust and reconnect with each other. Today, we are back together and working toward a healthier, stronger relationship. I’m thankful for the positive role Ilekhojie played in encouraging growth, understanding, and reconciliation during such a difficult period in our lives. He has done similar thing for so many people and i am grateful for his help. I leave his contact here so you can also seek help from him.
