"I’ve been waiting to post this all year. To my best friend, lover, and the woman I can call mine for forever, words can’t express how overly in love I am with you. You are the reason I pop out of bed in the morning, the light that shines in my life brighter than any star. As your husband, I have watched you grow and achieve heights that we would talk about as dreams and you have found away to turn them into reality. Well a year ago, you made my dream come true. I have become a better man from it, and will continue to be the best man I can be for you! I love you, Happy Anniversary baby💙" wrote Wooden.
