For the bride who noticed the small things first
Marcus, nobody warns you that falling in love is mostly made of small things. For me it was the way you learned my coffee order wrong three times and kept trying. The way you walk on the traffic side of the sidewalk without ever mentioning it. The way you whispered “we’ve got this” before my thesis defense, and I believed you, and we did. Grand gestures are easy — anyone can rent a billboard. You built me a love out of Tuesdays. So my vows are made of small things too, offered daily: my honesty, my attention, my terrible singing in your passenger seat. You noticed me before I felt worth noticing, Marcus. I plan to spend the rest of my life returning the favor.

Customize it: Gather three tiny habits of his that nobody else would notice, and let those be the whole romance.
