To my husband, Hassaan, today, on our wedding day, I feel so lucky to be standing beside you as your wife. You have shown me what true love and commitment looks like, and I promise to cherish and honour you for the rest of my life. So to my amazing husband, thank you for being my everything. I love you more than words can express, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

Dear Sergio, happy wedding day, babe. I can't wait to marry my best friend today. I can't wait to celebrate with you and to start our married life. And I look forward to a future with you full of joy, adventure, so many laughs, and lots of love. I love you with all my heart always, and so do the girls. Love, Stephanie

Sarah, you've changed my life in so many wonderful ways. I know that it's only going to get better from here. No one can make me smile the way that you do, and I honestly feel like the happiest man on the planet. I love you more than words can express, and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you.

Patrick, from our first date to our wedding day, you have shown me nothing but respect and what it is to have a supportive partner to navigate this wonderful life. Your loving nature, your gentle soul, and your ability to talk me through even the toughest moments are just a few things I love about you, Patrick. When you're gone, I find myself counting the hours until I can be with you again, hugging you and giving you all the kisses. I should be nervous, anxious, and overwhelmed, but I find myself calm and at peace because I know that no matter what happens today, I am marrying my best friend, my forever supporter, my encourager, and my soulmate.

Christian, mi amor, I always tried to think what I would say when this moment came, but I don't think seventeen- and sixteen-year-old us would have imagined our life now. Our love has grown and flourished into something so beautiful and special that I know is not often seen. These eight years have not been easy, but they have been a great adventure that led us to be here today as the man and woman we were meant to be.

My dearest Katarina, from the moment I met you, I knew there was something special. You're my rock, my best friend, my confidant. There's no one else I'd rather go on this journey with than you. From the good moments to the not-so-good moments, I've always been proud to call you mine. With you by my side, I feel like a new man, a better man, a husband, and I hope one day, a father. Together, I feel there's nothing we can't do. We've done so much together—our first coffee, meal, festival—the list goes on. So let's toast to the good and bad times as we both grow together. I love you, Nina. Be mine forever.

Danijel, I have unfortunately known you for fourteen years of my life. When I say unfortunately, I don't mean this in a negative way. You have had such a big impact on my life that I sometimes feel disappointed for not getting a chance to know you earlier, to create an even stronger bond with more memories, adventures, and laughs.

To my very soon-to-be husband, there are no words that could possibly capture or explain my love for you. Without saying a word, I can feel all the love and care you have for me, and I know you can feel mine too. I have found my home in your arms and a sense of happiness I did not know was possible. No matter what happens from this day forward, I get to say that I've experienced a love greater than anything else. Just know that you and your happiness mean everything to me. I love you so much, Adam, and see you soon.

I wanted to tell the story of how Dalia and I met. What I imagine is there's two grandmothers, Bubbe Pearl and Grandma Susie, and they live in the same apartment building. So I think they met maybe in the hallway to the elevator, and I think that's when they started to hatch a plan. So, another few months ahead, I was introduced to Dalia by a classmate and said, "Oh, you're Dalia. My Bubbe told me I needed to ask you out for coffee."

I've never thought of myself as a particularly lucky person, and I never understood why things just didn't seem to work out my way sometimes. I now know that I was saving all of my luck for the chance to be with you. All of my luck has been concentrated into this moment where I get to be your wife, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Nate, you are the love of my life, my best friend, the one who makes me laugh more than anyone, my shoulder to cry on, and the best dog dad to Harper and Finn. Although it hasn't always been easy over the last few years, I've learned that our love is resilient, adventurous, and as long as we are together, we can get through anything and come out stronger.

Erica, growing up with an older sister like you has been an immense blessing. From the very beginning, you've been a living example of loyalty, discipline, and strength. From a young age, I've been fortunate to have Erica to look up to, to learn from, and be inspired by. You are an amazing sister, daughter, friend, cousin, and you will make an incredible wife.

Dear Joey, to say these past seven and a half years have flown by would be a lie. It feels like I've known you forever, and from the very start, I knew we'd get to this moment one day. Through every good and bad moment, you are my ray of light. My love for you hasn't stopped growing, and as our lives continue, it can only grow stronger. Today, I give you my heart for the rest of forever.

I could recognize you by touch alone, by smell, unspoken, unseen, unheard, by the way your breaths come and your feet strike the earth. I would know you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, in different times, and I would love you in all of this until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion.

It's absolutely insane that we are here. With every perfect date and every late-night conversation we had I began to realize more and more that you were perfect for me and you were made for me. You are my world, my life, and my everything. By your side is where I need to be and is where I want to be for the rest of my life.
