for my baby 2/5/2020
hi baby,

every single time i sat down to write this, i sort of blanked. not because i didn't know what to say to you on our special day, but because i don't think i am actually capable of wrapping my head around the fact that it's me that you love, and if you're reading this letter right now, it's me you're going to marry in just an hour or so. i have so much to say and the emotions are so deep and so real that i don't know how to formulate sentences that describe it with enough passion, love and adoration. i never really knew what love was until you walked into my life. i never understood what it felt like to be loved unconditionally, with actually nothing holding me or my partner back. you are the person that was able to give me all of that, and today, you're giving me something i never thought i'd have. marriage, to my best friend, to my soulmate. i'm sitting in a separate room from you right now and i'm definitely going to be nervous. you know me, you know everything makes me nervous but just knowing that the second i walk out of here, it'll be you i see, and that eases my worries because you always have a way of making me feel better, no matter what the situation or circumstances might be. i think you're so brave, and so kind and you have given me more than i could've ever asked for. it makes my head spin sometimes because i never understood what it felt like to be this adored by one single person. i bet you're going to look so incredible in your tux baby, and you're going to take my breath away, even more so than you have in the months we've been together. i'm so excited to share this life with you, to adore and cherish you, take care of you and love you unconditionally. you might be a little nervous right now, but just know i'm just on the other side of the hall, and i am waiting for you, just like you have been waiting for me. i have our song playing right now, too, which is soothing to me in a sense. makes me feel like you're right here, next to me. i love you tom, i'm going to love you until my last breath, and i will admire you for the rest of our lives. you bring out the best parts of me, you bring out the happiest me, and i promise you on everything in this world, i will do the same for you. until death do us part. i'll see you so soon baby. now finish getting pretty for me because today is the best day of our lives!


love you always and forever, your nico.
