8 years ago today, Heather and I stood in front of friends and family consenting to be joined as one for the rest of our lives.

Many things have changed since then: how we look, how we dress and where we live just to name a few. We are now three instead of two since the birth of our son Jakob. There is a lot more grey hair, and in my case a lot more weight. But with all these things that have changed, a couple of important things have stayed the same.

Heather is still the most beautiful woman in the world to me... and to you if you know what's good for you. We still lay in bed and laugh before retiring for the night. When I hold her I still feel complete in a way that transcends explanation.

Thank you for 8 years full of wonder, sorrow and joy. I can only imagine what the next 8 will bring.
