The start of something becomes the foundation of memories.
The beginning is a forward motion until it ends.
A particular point in time becomes the reference for every moment that follows.
We were established at birth and honor that day with celebrations. We simply call those birthday parties.
Conception.
Inception.
The origin of anything worthwhile should be celebrated by all who benefit from the creation of that thing. That thing - this love...
The anniversary of the day you were born is nothing short of magical to me. Without your first breath, I would not have had a partner to share my most precious memories with.
While the days we were born are important, the most special day of my life was when the world conspired and connected us. Neither of us could have known that the day we began dating would lead to a union as one.
Both days are the beginning of a new phase, but only one is the "birth" of this relationship.
My love and loyalty did not start when you proposed with a ring. My care and concern did not begin with traditional vows in front of our loved ones, followed by the celebration of my dreams. I knew my future would hold a life of loving you the moment I became your girl. The first day that led to the day at the altar is technically the "birthday" of our love.
The Conception.
The world conspired...
I hope we always take time to celebrate all of our special days. I pray that we never minimize the days that laid this foundation: the day you were born, the day I was born, and the day we decided to be exclusive. Without those three days, there would be no white dress, suit, & flowers. Without that moment, none that followed would exist.
Without the beginning, the future could not exist.
Without that day, I could never have known to say, "Yes", and this love could not persist.
Always celebrate the beginning.
