Dear In-Laws,

When two people meet and fall in love, they usually owe it to the people who set them up or the grounds for which they met. But I don't think that is the reason I will have fallen in love with your son. The reason I have fallen in love with your son, and one day want to spend the rest of my life with him, is because of you.

To his mother, you have done the most. You have stood by him while other girls have broken your son's heart and I can imagine your heart is truly breaking too. You have taught him what it means to have manners and treat a lady, which is quite rare nowadays. You taught him how to love and I cannot be more grateful for him choosing to love me. You have given him care and kindness and he now reflects these things onto his own life. You have raised the man of my dreams.

To his father, you have taught him how to be a man and to be strong, but also when it's time to be weak. Thank you for always pushing him for brighter and better things. You have taught him the persistence of hard work and also the value of a dollar. The lessons he has learned from you has shaped him into the man he is now and I cannot thank you enough. You have been a wonderful role model for your son and I hope he can do just the same for our kids one day.

At the end of the day, I owe my whole life to you because you created my whole life. Thank you for changing my life and trusting me to do the same to your son. I promise to respect him and love him just as much as he has done to me. Thank you for taking a chance on me and for hoping I would not turn out like those other girls that broke your son's heart. Thank you for allowing me to date your son and ultimately allowing me to marry him. I promise to never take your son away from you, but to take you on our journey. It is never my place to take away your little snot-covered baby boy, but I know I will always love him and always be grateful for you. Thank you.

Sincerely,

I can't wait to meet you and your son.
