Bear with me, everybody.

Alana, I love you.

We've been to so many weddings together, and during each ceremony,

I tear up and say, I'm going to cry.

At our wedding when i have to say my vows to you my emotions get the best of me as i think about you

and sharing how we fell in love well now is that moment cried a little sooner than i was hoping

most here know how we met and many know the details about our lives since then. It started with me having to double-hings message to you to get a response, despite what others may think, I did, in fact, love the Jonas brothers. Here are some of the things I remember most while falling in love with you. I think back to our first date at Quality Eats, and it set the standard for me understanding who you are and how you act.

You are authentic and not someone who feels pressure to impress others.

It was freezing cold and we had to be outside because of COVID.

You dressed for comfort, brought a hand warmer, and we're easy to talk to.

After that, we had a date at your apartment where we bonded over Jared Frieden's sushi.

You then left

for Florida for three weeks, and I thought for sure I would never see you again. Thankfully,

you came back for a COVID shot. So hard. COVID shot and said, we can go out if you

were feeling okay after the shot. Looking back, the odds

were not in my favor. I was supposed to work, but I switched my days off so I could spend time

with you. You're doing great. We're going to be here. Yeah, it only gets harder.

One of the smartest decisions I've ever made.

We had our date, and from that moment on, it has been nothing but laughter, fun, and memories.

From there, we started date card days. I met your friends, you met mine.

We started the date list, went to sugarfish often, and just began falling in love.
