So this is love, hmm-hm-hmm-hm, so this is love

Have I told ya'll about how much I love my husband or how handsome I think He is?

*a-hem*

Fresh out of high school, my plans were in line, 

be a pine cove counselor was hot on my mind.

An interview later, that plan soon fell through,  

And I realized that college was all I could do.

So college and school work was filling my days.

I shuffled through life in a boring, dull haze.

This wasn't the plan I had dreamed all my life.

Where was my husband, why wasn't I a wife??

One day, my mother with a look quite scary

said, "I have met the man you're going to marry!"

"ha", thought I, "like mother knows best."

Then I met this marriageable man, and you might know the rest.

At first meeting, I gasped (in my head, not out loud)

Before me was a man that made my heart start to pound.

Manly hands, handsome face, and kind eyes, bluest-blue,

I knew straight away he was too good to be true.

And yet, he pursued me, I'm not quite sure why.

Young, immature, and portly, why give me a try?

But three dates passed quickly and by then I knew,

                                          I loved this man deeply, and he loved me, too.

Come Christmas, he proposed, and of course, I said yes.

We then booked our church and I found the right dress.

I smiled as we held hands, and smiled through "I do's"

He smiled when he kissed me and said "I love you".

Three moves, four animals, and three years later

I scared him half to death shouting praises to my maker.

At 6 in morning as he rushed to my side,

I showed him good news and I beamed with pride.

Now friends, another year has come and has passed.

Four happy years of marriage have been quite a blast!

Second only to my Savior, my heart to him I give

                                     I'm so glad my plan failed, 'cause it's God's will I live.

Happy anniversary to my handsome husband whom I love so very, very much!

I love you, Stephan Du Toit
