Words of Love: Vineland Station Wedding at Cherry Avenue Farms, Ontario
A letter to Mikaela and Mike…
Mikaela used to joke to me about the type of man that she wanted to marry one day: tall, handsome, funny, loyal. Mike is that list personified, so she found someone that complements her in every way. My beautiful, fiery little sister, you light up my life, and you make every day better. I couldn't be happier for the two of you.
To my bridesmaids and my sister Taylor, when I think about being a good partner in my marriage, I often reflect on how each of you have shown up for me and the endless support I've received from each of you. We were all girls together, talking about falling in love. You were all the foundation of my love story, and it all started with each of you.
To my mom and dad, you are the most emotionally supportive people I know, and your unwavering support, guidance, and encouragement have been the anchor in my life. Thank you for being the incredible parents that you are, and I want you to know how deeply I appreciate the both of you.
Mikaela Jeanette Wilson, you are the most beautiful person inside and out. It's been almost a decade since the day we met—who would have guessed back then that this is where we would be standing today.
I am in awe of how amazing a person you are. Your love is consistent, your generosity is consistent, your patience is endless, and you are continuously my source of joy and stability. I truly do believe in soulmates, and I am certain that you're mine.
You've encouraged me, supported me, and shaped me into the better man I am today. You are, in fact, already my better half, and today I am also willing to admit that you are the funnier one, the kinder one, the more thoughtful one. But I think that I'm the luckier one for finding someone like you.
Through every high and every low, your love and kindness has never wavered, and I have never doubted that you're my person. I promise to keep your life unpredictable and entertaining, always filled with love and compassion.
I can't wait to start the next chapters of our lives together and be by your side until we're old and wrinkly.
I can't wait to grow old with you. I look forward to every gray hair and every shared moment that life brings us. Growing old with you means more memories, more laughter, and more love. I promise that I will continue to update my promises as we evolve and become different versions of ourselves.
I promise to stand by you through every challenge and obstacle that comes our way, never stop trying to make you laugh, and to always protect your heart. I promise to be there for you when times are good and when times are bad, and I promise to love you forever.
I love you with all my heart, and I promise to cherish you every day of our lives.
Michael and Mikaela have joined themselves to each other by solemn vows. You may kiss the bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Mike and Mikaela Nasiadka.
I have had the privilege of knowing Mike since elementary school, and I will never forget when he was transferred into our class, my thoughts were, "Damn, this kid is scary." So I figured I'd better make friends with him quick—and so I did, and throughout the years, we have shared endless memories together. It is an honour and so special to be standing beside him here today. It's been a real privilege to be a small part of your journey, to watch you both grow over the years and build a love that is truly special. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. I am so happy for you both. I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness.
[Mike’s Parents’ Speech in Polish]
Love is patient, love is kind; nothing in this world matters more than the special love you two share. Mikaela, sunshine, officially we welcome you into our family, and we are happy to call you our daughter. We love you very much.
I have with me a parent’s wish list. So the first thing you wish for when your child is born is for a healthy child. Second thing you hope for is to have a successful child. Next is, you hope that your children will always stay in contact with you—there isn't a day that goes by that all four of us do not say good night, I love you. So then we move on to your hope is that, when they grow up, they will have a good partner. And as you have heard, she met Michael, and they worked toward that partnership. Michael did everything he could to have her in his life. So, Michael, you are not our son-in-law. I will treat you, and Lynn will treat you, like our son. So do we have someone who loves our daughter? Absolutely! Checklist: fan-tastic!
Thank you to my wife, Mikaela. Your creativity, patience, and hard work are evident in every moment we’ve experienced today. I am so blessed to have you as my partner, and I look forward to building our future together, knowing that with you, anything is possible.
