I was hoping to bring the funny today but decided that I needed to address something of a more serious matter, my lovely wife.
Today marks our 4th wedding anniversary, and as some of you may know we have definitely had our world turned upside down more than once this past year. But through it all Mrs. Shife has been by my side offering her unconditional love and support. She is the greatest gift I have ever received.
I just wanted to share a little something with her again from my wedding speech.
Mrs. Shife, you know everything about me, but love me none the less. If it
were not for marriage I would never have known I had any faults, and
yet you still agreed to marry me. And as Mrs. Shife will be the first to
tell you, I'm often wrong, but in marrying you, I know I've made the
right decision.
I am extremely lucky to be the one to marry you today and I know this
is the start of many happy years together, because every day I wake to
find I love you twice as much as the day before. Someone once said
that we make a living by what we get, whereas we make a life by what we
give. Very true words indeed. You give me all of your love and so
much more with only one condition; that I give you all of my love in
return. This I gladly do. I am not marrying someone I can live with;
I am marrying the one person I cannot live without. To my bride, my
wife and my very best friend, Mrs. Shife, thank you very much for all
that you are, and all that you do.
Happy anniversary to the most beautiful person I know, my wife.

This is seriously an AWESOME post shife. Congrats and here is to many many more years to come.
ReplyDeleteWow. You're a sweetie. I think we'd all like to marry you! Well, probably not too practical with the baby on the way, the dog, furniture, books, spouses, significant others, boyfriends, girlfriends, more pets, etc. The house would be pretty crowded and Mrs. Shife really pissed. Okay, marriage is out!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and may the years ahead only bring you more joy. Beautiful post.
