A letter to Ms. Anonymous

Dear Ms. Anonymous,

How would you feel if I told you I was getting married next year? How would you feel if I told you that I was getting married to you? I know that you would somehow be surprised, but I bet not that much. I never really thought that I would end up asking for your hand in marriage, but here I am, on bended knees, asking you to be my wife.

One of these days, you'll be surprised by something you never really expected. It won't be a surprise if you did expect it, right? I have long been a bachelor, and as much as I hate to give up my amazing bachelorhood, I feel that now is the time to step up and move a level higher and savor the sweetness of being married and raising a family.

I cannot and will not promise you the world, or that I would be the perfect husband or the perfect father. But this I can say: I will do my best to live up to your expectations, and probably a little more. I will not promise that I will not give in to temptations from time to time, but you can be assured of my loyalty.

Next year, we'll get married. Today, I am asking you to marry me. I just hope you are out there, and that I get to meet you before our wedding day. I hope that by then, I would have figured out who and where you are, and how I can deliver this proposal to you. Until then, I guess I'll just have to pray, and pray hard ... that we'll find luck in our life as one, that we will discover prosperity together, that we will triumph amidst the hardships of today's world as a family. And I have to pray that we'll see each other soon. Until then ...

Love,
Me
