The Emancipation of Princess Pereira

I may not be the girl whom you first loved…and I may not be the girl you made a scrapebook for but I am the girl who will bear witness to your life’s precious moments. I will be the girl who will be the mother of your adorable children. I will be the girl whom you will grow old with and I will be the girl whom you say "I do" to…

…because "I do".

When you slipped the ring on my finger, I saw the lustrous glow of the candles, smelt the white lilies and heard you whispered "I love you"- all at once. It was such a quixotic moment- one that I shall remember as long as fate allows me to.

Thank you…

Thank you for allowing me into your life…and into your heart.
Thank you for showing me what it feels like to genuinely love and to be loved in return.
Thank you for sharing with me your days- the good ones, the bad and all the rest in between.
Thank you for accepting me on my good days, my bad and all the rest in between.
Thank you for teaching me about life’s lessons- I always learn something new from you each day.
Thank you for believing in me…and giving me the fortitude to believe in myself.
Thank you for being a trustworthy companion first and foremost…and my significant other secondly.
Thank you for being my Prince Wales!

And I thank Him everyday for you…for giving me the opportunity to dislike you when we first met at Mark’s wedding in 2003, the opportunity to rectify my previous decision and prove me dead wrong when you entered our circle of friends, the opportunity to be ‘part of you’ that unexpected night in 2004, the opportunity to heal your wounds and rescue you from the snares of loneliness, the opportunity to deepened the friendship we had cultivated whilst celebrating my 23rd at Bintan, the opportunity to then save me from the depths of my own despair, the opportunity of one too many shots downed followed by the opportunity of an intense soul-baring session on 11.12.05, the opportunity of being true to myself and following my heart on the eve of Christmas last year , the opportunity of being asked to spend the rest of my life with you on your 25th birthday this year…and the opportunity to be able see that breathtaking opportunity through come our special day next…

Can’t hardly wait… …
