Anniversary Post
Happy fourth wedding anniversary Christy Ann Martine I love you so much. 💕 After so many years of long-distance, it's wonderful to be settled into our beautiful life together with you in Canada. 🇨🇦
I love our long walks around the lake, and how you walk around the world in wide-eyed wonder, noticing the little things in life that other people miss. I love the way we always laugh together and find humour in everything, even when times get hard. We have come to understand one another in ways that nobody else does.
I love our mornings writing poetry together ✍️, our nights watching movies. 🍿 The interesting conversations that stimulate our minds and imaginations. The joyful moments we share each day have become my comfort. Our relationship is truly unique and wonderful. 💕
I'm grateful for your enduring love that has transformed my life in so many ways. Every day, you inspire me to be a better man and husband.
Thank you for being my "Undeniable Miracle." I look forward to the new memories we will make as we fill our lives with love and laughter. 💖🌹
