I am one of those people who thinks ahead - always. I have been writing letters to my future children for years - and 3 months after meeting TL (I think most of you know his name is Tim) I just knew I was going to marry the guy.
So... I started writing letters to give him on our wedding day.
3 of them are from before we were engaged, and then 7 more are from after.
I gave the letters to different people who are special to him. The schedule was clearly written out, and everyone except TL knew about it.
Right when he woke up - his brother gave him the first letter that I wrote just a few months after we met. They were given to him through out the morning (after he got dressed, on the way to the resort, when he got there, ect) and in order of how they were written. Then, just a few moments before he walked his mom down the aisle she gave him letter number 9. And when I walked down the aisle, I read him my vows which were the final letter 10.
I wrote each of them at different big events in our life. Its funny because I wrote the first 3, then after we got engaged it just sort of worked itself out. The poor guy was a mess when we finally saw each other on the day of our wedding :)

k that just gave me goosebumps.
what a beautiful thing to do. you were a great girlfriend then and the best wife now. tim's one lucky guy but he already knows that.
How incredibly sweet of you, I don't TL for being in tears, he has an amazing wife! I started writing my future husband letters when I was 16, but really haven't written any since then. I really should start doing it - I love how you wrote the letters before you two were engaged, it really showed how much you knew that both of you were meant to be together. Happy weekend love, did I mention I am so glad that you are back to blogging full force? I missed you.
Oh my goodness that is the sweetest thing ever

I LOVE your new header ~ sorry...did not want to forget that so I started out with it. :o)
This is such a special thing Tracy and I can only imagine how Tim was feeling when he read them all. I wrote Trevor on our wedding day and had his best man give it to him when they were getting ready. It is thoughtful and sentimental. Hope you have a wonderful week-end!
this is such a beautiful idea! I miss writing letters to my boyfriend - I might have to write him one now :)
So sweet...I'm sure you'll do that with your kids someday. We used to and kind of fell out of the habit. Great tradition to keep up with:) Love your new header pic...very cute.

Oooooh Tracy. OOOOOH TRACY.
You are too much. That is absolutely incredible! I'm surprised TL didn't need an oxygen mask from all that emotion he must've been feeling!
That is so special and sweet of you to do! I bet he loved each letter and was incredibly surprised.
oh my goodness that is sooooo sweet! I've never heard anything like it! What an amazing keepsake for you and him, and I cant imagine the day you get to share them with your kids!
I'm just catching up on all your past wedding posts!
I absolutely love this idea! I have something similar started but I think I want to copy you and do this!
