Nicole Lily DeJong. Here we are. You and me.

There is no occasion I could be more grateful for than standing in front of you right here, right now.

There is no role I could be more blessed to play than sharing this existence as your Life Partner.

As soon as our eyes twinkled at each other on Day One, I beheld the brilliance of your light.

The incredible possibilities of your spirit awed me, and i vowed to find some supportive role in your life, so through time I may both witness what blossoms into this world through your work, and consistently grow from being in the presence of a being so pure.
It is astounding what role i have been cast.

My default summary when I describe you is “Nicole has the power and purity of heart to inspire temples built in her name.”

When a coworker asked why I was marrying you, I said because no path I could dream of making would ever be as breathtaking as making a path together with you.

I stand here before you devoted as your disciple, committed as your companion, humbled to be your husband Nicole.

I love the way your face gets all puffy in the morning. I love the myriad of goofy voices you have when you talk with the cats. I love how you can change into old baggy sweats faster than I can blink. I love that you can always find a reason to celebrate and reward yourself. I love the way you look at me and hold me and laugh with me. I love that you think I am funny, capable, handsome, inspiring, hardworking, honest, sexy, and silly. I love you Nicole.

Thank you for loving me completely and unconditionally. For spurring me to grow in character and persist for my aspirations. For dreaming and daring alongside me.
You have my heart, my hand, my home.

I shall love you as deep as the root burrows, as wide as the sea stretches, as far as the sun shines.

For this life and a thousand more, I am yours Jiggy.
