I am going, to be honest with you right now. I hope you are dealing well and becoming the best version of yourself. At the moment I’m not doing so well and that’s ok. I’m working on it and I just want to say that I can’t wait till we meet. I don’t know where it will be or when it will be but that day will be a lovely day. I want to be the best for you and only you. I want us to grow together and be self-less. I want our kids to grow up and say, “That’s the definition of love.”
The mistakes that I’ve made I can only learn and move on from. I don’t know what it will be like in the future but I hope I can enjoy it with you. The flaws that I have I want them to be your strengths. I want you to love yourself and be able to talk to me directly. I want you to be honest and also passionate about the thing you do. I don’t want you to be insecure about yourself because you are beautiful. And nothing’s wrong with a little dark humor or sarcasm. I can’t wait to see you soon.
Love, your future husband
This assignment was called Dear Future Husband where I am supposed to write a short letter to my future wife and letting them know what I want to see in them and what will the future will be like. This assignment hit different for me personally because I actually pour my heart on this one. Everything I said in this letter is true because I want the best for my future wife. I thought about my flaws, my strengths, and my growth. And that’s what I decided to write about.
Something I think about pretty often is who my future husband is. I have been meaning to start writing letters to said husband for a while but always put it off, so when I saw that one of the assignments that I could do for this week was to write a letter to my future husband I was super excited.
I sat down at my desk and started writing. I talk about how it was crazy that I do not know who will receive this letter one day and how I could already of met him when writing the letter.
I also talk about the hopes and desires that I have for him and for our future relationship. I talk about how I want him to keep me adventurous and that I hope we never stop exploring the world together.
I know that some people post exactly what they write in the letter during this assignment, but I decided that I wanted this letter to only be read by my future husband. I feel like this is a very special and emotional thing that I want to only share with that one special person. But here is a picture of the letter in the envelope.
I really enjoyed this assignment (it was probably my favorite that I have done so far) and it will be something that I think I’m going to start doing on a semi-regular basis.
I believe I know who you are but don’t want to jinx anything, so I won’t state your name. If we do get married, we would have been together for a very long time now, and the only barrier we had was our age of being too young. You are my home, my comfort, my happiness I look forward to everyday. You are the goofiest person I know, yet no one would ever guess it since you are so introverted around other people. I see a different side of you and you see a different side of me. You push me in everything I do and calm me when I am at my worst. I get on your last nerve and confuse you more times than I can count. You kill me with your lack of responsibility (most of the time) and how messy you can be. But there is no one (I mean no one) else I’d rather be doing life with other than you. I can’t wait till our day approaches, and we live out our dreams and lives we have, together.
This letter is to you, the person who I believe that I will spend the rest of my life with. I am so thrilled to be able to spend the rest of my very existence on this Earth with you. Only you.
As my soon to be husband, there are some things I would like to ask of you.
First and foremost, please take care of me. Take notice when I’m not feeling right. Be on your guard if things seem a little fishy. And please be patient with me. As you already know, I am NOT perfect. And no matter how hard I will try not to, I WILL make mistakes. DISCLAIMER: I am annoying! I am hard to deal with. Just stating the obvious! So please my love, have patience.
I beg of you to not take me for granted. I’ve had too many people take advantage of me and made me feel like an afterthought. Like I am nothing. People have hurt me. Even my closest friends and family. To the point where I believed that I deserved that hurt.
Please don’t ever leave me. I need you with me. Right by my side. Helping me, encouraging me, and fighting the battles of life with me. I’ve been alone for too long in this world. Feeling like a mistake. A failure. Feeling unloved and unwanted. Even by my own family.
Lift me up when I fall. Encourage me when I’m upset. Make me laugh to the point of tears and stomach aches. Hold me like you could never let me go. Kiss me, like you miss me. Give me piggyback rides whenever we go on long walks. Tell me that you love me, but more importantly, SHOW me that you love me. Call me out of the blue to encourage me. And catch me off gaurd when you come to see me! You know I love surprises!
Keep me safe from harm’s way. Protect me from those who want to hurt me. Please hold my hand whenever you see it shake, or see it lonely. Please lend me your hoodies! I get cold VERY often! As you hug me please don’t forget to pick me up and spin me like a princess. Please play with my hair. All the time! Try to wrestle me, and you will most definitely lose. Although, you know my tickle spot so, please be gentle as you unleash the tickle monster upon me.
Please remind me that I am beautiful because I can never convince myself that I am. Most importantly, please remind me of who I am. Remind me that I am loved and that I am a good person. Because I often forget that. Keep me accountable and point me into God’s arms. Lead me closer to God and please remind me of who God says I am. Put the scripture of the Bible directly in my face if I’m not living out the scriptures. Remind me that I am everything because of God. That I am fearfully and wonderfully made by the creator of the universe. That I am nothing without him. And how God has graciously given you to me. YOU, my love! To be my partner in crime. My best friend! My goofball! My husband! After all, I am the princess, you are my wonderful prince, and God is our Mighty King.
I love you so much. SO SO SOOOOOO MUCH! So much that you can’t even fathom. There hasn’t been a single day that I haven’t dreamed of this moment. Where you, fulfill this role as my future husband. And I cannot wait for that amazing day. The one where I say, “I do.”
First of all, I love you. Second of all, do the dishes please I hate it so much and I probably left some dirty ones in the sink just for you. Don’t worry though because I washed all of your underwear. Equivalent exchange is important a relationship you know. We will always talk and make compromises if we don’t agree. I never want to go to sleep after a fight. I want to know your thoughts and feelings so I can love you properly and truly. Being together is just easy. But listen, in case you haven’t figured it out already, there are a few things that I absolutely will not compromise in our lives together.
We need a really cool game room featuring a table for board games and two set-ups for our video games.
I want pretty fairy lights. everywhere!
Thanksgiving always has to be with my family because our dinner is probably better (no offense)
Snuggling is always unless I don’t feel like it.
Please make me grilled cheese
It’s a pretty short list, so I’m sure you can do it. I’m excited because I know everything we do together is going to be so fun! I know you love to travel like me so we’ll definitely go to as many cool places in the world as we can before we settle down and get a black cat and a brown curly dog. I’m thinking Japan, Italy, France, and England to start! Also amusement parks and roller coasters are one of my favorite things so we have to go to a bunch of those as well. I realize a lot of these things require money, but even if we can’t do them all right away, I’ll be happy as long as I’m with you.
Let’s talk kids. Two is the magic number but three might be fine. I want daughters but you’ll probably want a son and we can’t really control that kind of thing so I guess that’s all I can say on that. We’ll raise them to be strong individuals who can like whatever they want, regardless of gender. We’ll definitely be playing our favorite retro video games with them. They’ll be really cute, really good kids I know it.
Honestly Future Husband, I know you can do no wrong. If I chose you then I know you’re everything I could ever want.
Love and forever yours,
Meghan
This is a 3.5 star writing assignment in which I had to write a letter to my future spouse! I had fun with this one because I know what I want in my future and I’m already excited to be living in it. I can be even more specific if I wanted to. I know what I want the names of my pets and kids to be but I’ll keep those to myself. I really enjoy writing pieces that make me or others feel warm and encourage positivity. I hope I didn’t sound too pushy in my letter, but I know my future husband will love me for whatever I am. I’ve got high expectations!
By the time you are hopefully reading this we would have been married for 1 month already. I hope it feels like time flies when we are together. I am so thankful to have found someone as special as you. You are the person that I can run to with any problems and you don’t judge me but help me solve the problems. I am so excited withe all the adventures we have accomplished already and looking forward to the ones the we come up with. You are such a gentleman to me, and you were able to win my dad’s heart over which meant I didn’t have a chance I was going to marry you. I always dreamed about you and now here you are and we are married! This is still crazy to think how I found someone so perfect for me. You are able to keep me grounded, while still embracing my wild side.
While I don’t agree with the entire song parts of it are what I want the dates, the understanding of we both work jobs so don’t expect me to do everything in life. I still hope my future husband makes me want to write a song because I love him so much and want to tell the world about him.
I have a few ground rules that we need to figure out before to much time goes on. First, it is not my job to clean the house; we both work full time jobs so we need to both come together to clean the house and keep it clean. Next, I will make dinner but leftovers are good, and if you my husband wants to make dinner one night he certainly can and I won’t complain. If we decide and finances let us stay home with children in the future, I expect things to get done around the house if you are home. You are not going to sit around and watch tv all day while I work hard for the money or vice se versa. I love that you are a handy man and can fix things around the house, you may know more about that stuff than I do even though I will never admit it lol.
I hope I am everything you dreamed of because you are for me and more. I love when I see you with children and your eyes light up and you become a big teddy bear to them and they love you for that. I enjoy watching it, and thinking about our future with children and how you will be with them. I want to be able to say and feel how lucky I am to be your wife.
For this assignment it was to create a letter to my future husband and tell him what I like, expect from him and hope for the future.
Love,
Your Wife, hopefully one of these days I will get used to saying that
I decided to use what I grew up on and seeing in my parents and these two songs are really where my fairy tale love is from.
“Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there’s no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that’s what you do”
In just this quote I feel so much love that he has for her, and I want to feel that when I think about my future husband. I want the love from the simpler days where love was love and it wasn’t complicated, where marriage was between two people that loved each other and wanted to conquer the world together. I want my future husband to do this to me and I hope that I do the same for him. Even though this is an older song from the 80’s the lyrics are still true today and should still be listened to and followed. I hope when you read this letter you feel the same way towards me and we continue to be this in love with each other until the day we die.
The day has finally come. The day where I get to walk down that aisle and become your wife. You have no idea how much I have prayed for you and for this perfect day. I prayed for you every day and through every heart break. I had to kiss many toads until God finally brought me to you. God told me through each heart break that you were getting closer and closer to me. I must be patient (which I’m sure you’ve learned I’m not) and trust in him. You would come when I would least expect it. He was right. All the pain, tears, battles, and scars were all worth getting to find you. I know I’m flawed in many ways, but you always saw past that. You’ve been the big brother to Josh and another son to my mom. You’ve been nothing short of the man of my dreams. You showed me what true happiness is again and what it is like to be loved unconditionally. I’m sitting in my room writing this while going through a heart break at this moment. Praying for God’s love, strength, and guidance. Knowing that he is leading me to you at this moment. I am thankful that I have gone all that I have gone through, because that has shaped me into the women you see today and whom you fell in love with. I’m excited to see our children running around in the backyard of our amazing house. I can’t wait to start our new lives together and see the amazing plans God has instore for us! I love you so much and I’m excited to finally meet you!
For my final writing assignment (3.5 stars), I decided to do the Dear Future Husband Assignment through the Point of View of my character, Ella Maguire. I decided to do this assignment because Ella is based off of the witches from A Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan. In the novel, the witches all make different decisions based on love, who they marry, and who they sleep with. I wanted to continue on with this theme with the new character I created to decide where she desires to go in respect to her love life. Does she want her husband for a specific reason- power, money, or status? Or does she want to find love and get to marry him? Does she take what she knows from her family history into consideration? Or does she make her own decision?
I wrote this letter by thinking about the character I created, Ella, and where she is in her life. She has just found out about being a witch, and is comparatively young for her time period to think about marriage. What does a modern Irish witch think of her future husband? Does she think about him often? Does she want to marry a man? Or does she potentially want to marry a woman, which may cause problems for the future of the Maguire line? I thought about these questions and where I wanted to direct Ella’s story arch as I wrote her letter. The letter is more about Ella’s current confusion in her state of life than what she wants from a future husband. I used this letter to represent how Ella is feeling about many parts of her life right now.
Dear Future Husband,
I just found out a huge secret. I am not sure if you will ever get to know about it. I am not sure whether or not I can tell you. I hope I can, but I’m not sure. I am not even sure yet what this secret means for me and my life. I just found out that I am a witch… whatever that means. I hope it does not change my life too much. I feel like I am already pretty content. It also seems like a lot of work.
I’m not really sure what I want from you. I feel like I am young to even be thinking about this, but I guess my ancestresses would have already known about this by the time they were my age. I am not even sure I want to marry a man. I definitely do not want to tell my mom that, though…. I do not know much about this witchcraft stuff, but I would assume no man would mean no heir and no heir would mean no more of the craft. That sure is a lot of pressure to put on an 18-year-old. Maybe I want to marry a woman? Or maybe I do not want to marry? Do I want to have kids? I don’t know.
I am really confused right now, and my mom telling me that I need to figure out what I want in a husband is not helping. I get that she cares about me and is from a different time, but I would appreciate it if she gave me some more space. I am just trying to figure out who I am. I do not need this added pressure of learning an ancient craft and pleasing my mom by finding a boyfriend. I want to be myself and be by myself for right now.
To sum this letter up, I do not know what I want. I am not even sure you are what I want, or that you will be in my future life at this point. I am sorry this letter is convoluted and disorganized, but that is kind of how I feel like my whole life is right now….
In these trying times, I often think of you to get through the days. Will you be tall or short? Will you have brown eyes or blue? Will you eat hot dogs or brains? Simple questions like that run through my mind when I go out for the day into the treacherous wilderness. I never know if I’ll make it back alive or if I’ll be shot, burned or hacked to pieces before I can get to shelter. It’s good to have something to hope for, something to keep me going.
You see, there’s something you should know, my future love. I’m a Zombie American. When the infection came to my town, my pet dog, Sammy, got the virus and I had no idea. We were playing like usual until he bit me. Sammy had never bit me before, that was my first sign something was wrong. Then came the deathly pallor to my skin and the loosening of my joints. Then, the hunger. Please don’t get freaked out. I can do all the normal things wives can do. I can cook, clean, and sometimes if I can muster it, I can stand up straight and look attractive.
Couple goals. : )
Even though I am a zombie, that doesn’t mean I don’t have expectations for you. I don’t want just any guy. In fact, my expectations have only gone up now that life has gotten harder for me. I hope you’re kind and have a sense of humor. The days are long and it would help to have someone understanding and who can make light of a terrible situation, like every day out here in this scary world. I hope you’re resourceful. It’s hard to find food with swarms of zombies around and even shelter can be hard to find for you humans. And most of all, I hope you can run fast. Sometimes the cravings get the best of me and what would be more delicious than the brain of the person I love most? I bet you’d taste so sweet. The soft tendrils of your brain between my maws, your flesh chewy and tender and… anyways.
When we’re married, I want to live in an abandoned mansion. One of those antebellum kinds. I once heard that zombies can’t climb so if we destroy the staircases and you help me up, the upper floor will be all ours. I dream of dancing with you in wide open rooms. I want to feel your touch on my peeling skin. I want to consume you so you’re mine and mine alone. In, like, a totally cute way. Haha…
Maybe I’ve met you already and you ran away. Maybe you’ll be a zombie yourself but I’m not attracted to those kinds of guys. I like sweet guys. With flavorful personalities and delicious looking lips. Zombies just don’t have that, I would know. One day you’ll get to read this, I imagine. I hope it doesn’t change anything between us. I hope that you love me and I trust you enough to be able to share my secret with you.
I look forward to walking down the aisle to you and you running right back up it while I chase you.
Our wedding is 226 days away today. It’s been 695 days since we decided to give this a try and I can’t tell you how thankful I am for that today. You were the most unexpected thing to ever happen to me, you came into my life at a time when I didn’t expect to be able to love anyone. Then I met you, and we just clicked. No drama, no doubts, no questions. It was just like my soul went “Oh hey, it’s you. I’ve been looking for you”. I could go on forever trying to explain what you mean to me. You’re my rock, my best friend, my number one fan. I wouldn’t be half the person I am today if I hadn’t met you. You make me want to be better, try harder, and keep going. Everything in my life has gotten better since I met you. You’re my greatest blessing.
All I ask of you, is to always love me. Even when I’m at my worst because that’s when I’ll need it the most. Be patient, and understanding. Be kind and forgiving. And always kiss me goodnight. I can’t wait to be your wife.
