Mine and my SO's wedding is taking place exactly one year today, and we're having a love letter box ceremony. We open the box once a year every year from now on, write a new letter to put in the box, whilst reading the previous year's letter. Of all the crap things which come with an LDR, I'm glad we get to keep the love letter tradition up! 
Sooooo today I am writing the first letter, which I will open and read to my SO at our wedding instead of saying the normal wedding vows. It is very important! Naturally I am freaking out! I've sort of finished, but what do you guys think?
" A, I love you so much, and I am so happy to be standing here with you today. I won't say how amazing it is, how that it's unbelievable that we've made it this far, because ever since I first met you, I knew you would be a very precious person to me, and that I would do anything to keep you in my life.
We had a hard beginning, being separated so early on in our relationship; thank you so much for waiting for me! It was so difficult and heart-wrenching at times, but I'd go through it all again to get back to you once more. I hope if I ever get annoyed or angry, that I will look back at the days when all I had of you was an image on a computer screen and remember how lucky I am now to have you here, so I can beat you up in person!
You are amazing, hilarious, generous, loyal and kind; I am so privileged and honored to be able to call myself your wife. I promise to love you and value our friendship always. I look forward to our lives together, our successes, our losses, our adventures together and our family. Thank you for everything you have brought into my life, and thank you for everything you will continue to bring.
A, I take you here today to be my lifetime partner, knowing with all my heart that you will be my constant best friend, my 42 and my one true love"
=/ my brain sort of exploded on the page.... does it all make sense? "42" is a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference- it's the answer to the meaning of life. We always say "You're my 42" to each other Maaaan I have to write this all out all nice and big so I can read it on my wedding day!

The Day we went long distance: 08.08.2010
Don't forget your towel!
But yeah, don't know if I could read that without crying 
It's beautiful!
I finally locked myself in our bedroom with a book and refused to open it till they were done. I got a good solid 3 hours reading and he was finished!
