Choosing just one is the hardest part. So vast are the memories of times we stood together; memories of the monsters we’ve slain, the gods we’ve laid low, and the riches we reaped from the earth and sea. Through it all we stood side by side. We shared each marvel with virgin eyes and giddily chattered at all the Source and the First offered.

Truly our story has spanned many years. We saw an empire repelled and its weapon disarmed. We heard a song of war and antiquity finally silenced. We tasted the victory of liberation and the blood of our enemies. We felt the chilled darkness break through the oppressive searing light. Now here we stand married in this world and also in our own. A perfect confluence of time and passion.

When my brother spoke of introducing us we were too excited to wait for our first date. You transferred to my server and we met outside of Mih Khetto’s Ampitheatre amongst the soft lights and distant warm voices. We lay together and talked for hours not knowing that what started as a date would become an eternity of love.

From that first explosive second we set out the see the world. All the while becoming more entwined as we built memories in Eorzea. When we met in our world I couldn’t believe you existed. Someone kind and loving who could share two lives with me. From spending hours to topple Titan with my PlayStation 3 lag to the sweet victory of bringing down Voidwamer just last week; II have fallen deeper and deeper in love with you.

Like crystals in the void my memories are vast. Each glows with the promise of so many more to come. I hear our groans at getting Sastasha during our leveling roulette. I see us, two eager men ready to marvel at beautiful holidays and celebrations. I taste the sweetness of finally nailing that perfect glamour we have been working on for hours. I feel the warmth and adoration we share watching one another grow. These memories are treasures and like a Primal I hoard them. They make me stronger and more confident each and every day. They give me a reason to keep living and fighting through my worldly illness. They push me to do better, achieve more, and cherish every second of my life.

I couldn’t have done this without you. My warrior, my protector, my magician, and my support. I will love you until Eorzea crumbles, until new worlds are born, and I can’t wait for our feet to touch those new grounds together. For, what started outside of a small amphitheater beneath the boughs of Gridania, has grown with roots deeper than even the elementals can reach.

I would love the Gaelicap so my husband can make fun of me.
