me: 

Benedick: 

Colette, you are my better half, the light of my life, the person I choose now and forever to be mine. You’ve taught me how to doubt, how to struggle with big questions, you’ve made me laugh so many times, you’ve helped me grow, you’ve been there for me on my lowest days and my highest days, and every single day I become more and more sure that there is absolutely no one else I would want to spend the rest of my life with 

This past year has been a whirlwind. From crashing my car to coming out to my family to doing my senior project to losing my best friend to throwing up for the first time in years to road trips together to having you meet my parents, you’ve been there by my side every step of the way. 

A year ago, I stepped off the plane, nervous for some inexplicable reason... maybe because I realized that this was the turning point, the day when everything would change, when we wouldn’t be able to hide our relationship anymore, when we’d be together together, and together for a long time. I was nervous of what the future held, and to be totally honest I still am. A year is a long time, but the rest of our lives is even longer.
