My Darling . . .

When two souls, which have sought each other for, however long in the throng, have finally found

each other ...a union, fiery and pure as they themselves are... begins on earth and continues forever in heaven.

This union is love, true love... a religion, which deifies the loved one, whose life comes from devotion and passion, and for which the greatest sacrifices are the sweetest delights.

This is the love, which you inspire in me... Your soul is made to love with the purity and passion of angels; the privilege that you have bestowed upon me with your love fills me up with such a new and unique pride in which I have never felt.  It is such an honor and I feel as though I can conquer the world.

Yours forever,

Your future husband.
