Notes About The Poem
This is our actual wedding anniversary and as it quickly approaches my heart hurts because I won't be spending it with her. Rachel I love you and wish you would come home I'm sorry

August 24th

One of my greatest days 
I've experienced in my life 
Would easily be August 24th 
The day you became my wife 

You walked down the aisle 
As a music begin to play 
I stood waiting at the altar 
For so long I dreamed this day 

I was so full of happiness and joy 
And I was standing there with you 
All my dreams prayers and wishes 
At that moment were coming true 

Together we stood in front of that church 
For God and are friends and family to see
Joining are two lives together as one 
In a simple and beautiful ceremony 

Looking at you with your hand in mine 
We vowed to love each other forever 
And to always be at by each others side 
Believing that our love nothing could sever you

Me too I only wish I could write something beautiful for her that expresses how much she means to me
