Happy Valentines Day - Version 31

So this is it.  Valentines Day number 31.  31 times I have groveled to get you to accept my offer of "being mine".  I like that you make me work a little for the right answer, you are certainly worth the effort.

I can't believe its been 31 years that we have done anything.  I mean we ARE young right?  I can honestly remember thinking "(he/she) is 31?  Wow that is old."  It's fine for us though, I figure we just keep getting better with age.  Plus we do have the 30th anniversary thing coming up very soon.

So I am going to use Valentines Day to use on of the many "vow" scripts that I am considering.  I figure this way, I reduce the the choices by one and this one doesn't go to waste.

So here you go (now picture me standing in front of you in Maui trembling cause I am nervous):

t. 

I can't believe you are still standing across from me.  In fact, I can tell you honestly that I have been surprised to see you standing across form me for more than 30 years.  How did I get so lucky?  How did I STAY so lucky for so long?

From day one I swear I have felt like the loser guy in John Hughes movies who somehow "got the girl".  Somehow - despite my dorkiness - this vision of amazing took time out of her life to bless me.  To love me.  ME!?!  I know there were probably a million guys you could have wound up standing across from, but you chose me.  But here you are - across from me. 

Its how I know I am the luckiest guy in the world.  My fairy tale came true and I've had endless days of happy every afters.  We have had adventures together.  We have fought dragons together.  We have rescued a fair maiden (or the guy version of that) or two.  But this fairy tale story keeps rolling on and on.  I truly can believe in magic.

So when I look across at you and you see a mumbling fool trying to read this, know that that fool knows he has been so lucky to have you in his life, that no real words are ever going to describe how I really feel.  Know that when I squeeze your hand as I struggle to read this, that I know that your squeeze back means "everything is fine - call down Jim".  Then I'll magically finish reading.

I'll say "You're the world to me.  I love you more than anything in the world"

And I will mean every word of it with all of my heart.

Whew - there I made it. The real thing isn't going to be as easy.

So will you be my valentine?  I'll wait patiently on your answer.

(and because I am superstitious)

You're the world to me.  I love you more than anything in the world.
