She said, “It’s been a wonderful year since I became your wife, and saying I would do something with you was the best decision of my life.
‘We’ve laughed more and fought less since we got married, we’ve become more and more strange and often pretend to be dead.
“You play endless games and tricks with me, my god, and the way we meow at each other is a little strange.
‘You rub your abs five times a day to check if they’re still there, and scratching and sniffing your butt never goes well.
“I think it’s clear that there’s no one I laugh with more and life is infinitely better with you in it, that’s for sure.”
She continued, “Truly my best friend, you build me up in everything and I am so proud of you and all the endless joy you bring.
“It’s cute that we have our own weird little language and I’m happiest because you’re my home.”
“I honestly feel safer with you than anyone else, you are my teammate forever and have been in my corner since day one.
