What went in
- Tone
- Heartfelt
- About the person you are marrying
- Priya. Calm in a way I am not. A GP, used to people falling apart, does not flinch. Funny in a dry way that takes people a while to notice.
- Your story
- Met at a work event I nearly skipped because I had a cold. Talked for two hours by the coats. First proper date was a terrible Italian restaurant we still go back to every year on purpose. Moved in during the year my dad was ill and she absorbed all of it without being asked.
- What you love about them
- She is honest with me even when it would be easier not to be. She notices when I am spiralling before I do. She laughs at her own jokes.
- The promises you want to make
- To keep being honest even when it is uncomfortable. To make her a cup of tea every morning like I already do. To listen properly, not while doing something else. To be the calm one sometimes so it is not always her. To go back to that terrible Italian every year for as long as it exists.

What came back
I almost didn't come to that work thing. I had a cold, I wanted my bed, and instead I got two hours by the coats with you, which is still one of the best trades I've ever made. You are calm in a way I am not, and I've watched you use that calm on other people all day, at work, with people who are falling apart, and you don't flinch. I used to think that was just your job. Now I know it's just you. You notice when I'm spiraling before I do, which is either unnerving or the safest feeling in the world, depending on the day. You're funny in a way that sneaks up on people, and you laugh at your own jokes before anyone else catches up, and I love that you don't wait for permission to think you're funny. When my dad was ill, you didn't ask what I needed. You just moved in and absorbed it, all of it, without making it a whole thing. I don't think I've properly said thank you for that. So: thank you. Here's what I'm promising you. I'll keep being honest with you, especially when it would be easier not to be, because you've never once let me get away with less than that. I'll make you tea every morning, the way I already do, for as long as we both drink tea. I'll listen properly, not with one eye on my phone, but actually listen. I'll try to be the calm one sometimes, so it isn't always sitting on your side of the table. And every year, for as long as that terrible little Italian place stays open, I will go back there with you and order something we probably won't enjoy, on purpose, because that's ours now. I'd choose the coats again, every time.
When to use it
Use this when you know exactly how you feel and cannot make it sound like anything other than a greetings card. It works from your own specifics, the actual promises you want to make, and returns something in your voice rather than borrowed sentiment.
