Angela & Rich

My Love,

Today is our wedding day! Wow…our wedding day! What a crazy journey it's been for both of us to get to this very special day!

I finally feel at peace today after many difficult chapters, challenging moments, and doubts about finding happiness. I thank the universe today — for you, for us, our families and for every little moment that led us here. Out of all the paths life could have taken, somehow they led us to each other…each of our paths very different, each of our experiences different, each laugh, cry, hug, smile, achievement and failure were different, and the people that touched our lives and bumped our paths toward this moment…different, but today brings us to a new journey…together!!

You are an incredible woman, more than even everyone sees and admires. To me…you're my peace when I need grounding, my strength when I don't have it, and my joy in the simplest moments. One look, one smile, one grab of my hand is all I ever need to put me back together. You've changed me in the best ways — not by asking me to be different, but by inspiring me and challenging me to be better. Loving you has made my life fuller, deeper, and more meaningful than I ever thought possible. I've found my partner, my best friend, and the person I want beside me for every moment life brings, the easy ones and the hard ones. You are my family…

Today, I don't just get to marry you before god, our family, friends and each other… I get to promise you my life, my commitment, my loyalty, my heart — all of it, completely and without hesitation. And I make that promise with so much conviction…because of who you are to me and Kobe, because of who you are to others, because of who you are to yourself, and because our journeys brought us to this moment and gave us this gift of choosing to stand by each other for the rest of our lives.

When you walk toward me today, just know that I'll be standing there in awe of you — of your strength, your beauty, your heart — and feeling like the luckiest man alive.

I love you more than I could ever say! Thank you for choosing me and thank you for choosing us!
