I stood in a room full of family, friends and co-workers and publicly declared what I had known for years...I\'m going to spend the rest of my life with my wife Thurraya.</p><p><span style=\"color:#1d2129;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;line-height:19.32px;\">Our marriage isn\'t always perfect, but I know that the love we have for each other is real because we\'ve been through the good and the bad and we\'re still together. </span></p><blockquote><p><em>When two people have shared life, when they are really, really in it together, there is a quiet certainty in the way they take care of each other. A gentle touch in passing, a loving word right when it\'s needed - every little thing seems to say, \"I\'m sure of you...I\'m sure of us.\"</em></p></blockquote><p><span style=\"color:#1d2129;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;line-height:19.32px;\">Today is the perfect day to acknowledge how awesome it has been to have her </span><span style=\"color:#1d2129;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;line-height:19.32px;\">as my wife. I am so glad that I am able to share my life with such a wonderful woman and w<span style=\"line-height:19.32px;\">ith each year that passes I can\'t help but love her </span><span style=\"line-height:19.32px;\">more and more.I know that God really loves me, because He gave me a wonderful woman to be my lifetime partner and the mother of my children. </span>Happy Anniversary.</span></p><p><span style=\"color:#1d2129;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;line-height:19.32px;\"><img style=\"margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;\" src=\"http://www.absolonkent.net/file/322188f59a48a25b85036f1b46184ccf/thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"429\"></span></p></div>n
