Valentine Letter
Moja najdrahšia láska,
Pred desiatimi rokmi som bol len turista na potulkách krásnymi vrchmi Vysokých Tatier na Slovensku. Netušil som, že osud mal so mnou iné plány, keď ma priviedol k tebe. Jedneho dna, ako som tak kráčal malebným chodníkom v horách, uvidel som ťa v diaľke sedieť na vrchu skaly. Tvoja žiarivá krása a čarovný úsmev mi vyrazili dych a hneď som vedel, že sa musím s tebou porozprávať.
Neskôr, keď sme sa na tom horskom chodníku rozprávali a smiali, cítil som, ako sa moje srdce pred tebou otvára. Vedel som, že si tá, ktorú som celý čas hľadal. Každý krok, ktorý sme spolu urobili, sa cítil ako krok k životu plného lásky a šťastia.
Za posledné desaťročie sme sa podelili o toľko dobrodružstiev a spomienok. Spolu sme sa smiali, plakali, aj milovali, a ja som tak vďačný za každú chvíľu, ktorú sme ako manželia strávili.
Si moja skala, moja svätyňa, moje všetko. Som taký vďačný, že ťa mám po svojom boku a budem ťa milovať až do skončenia vekov.
Z celého srdca,
(Tvoj manžel)

TRANSLATION:
My dearest love,
Ten years ago, I was just a tourist wandering the beautiful mountains of the High Tatras in Slovakia. Little did I know that fate had other plans for me, as it brought me to you. One day, as I hiked along a scenic trail in the mountains, I saw you in the distance. Your radiant beauty and a magical smile took my breath away, and I knew that I had to talk to you.
Later, as we chatted and laughed on that mountain trail, I felt my heart open up to you. I knew that you were the one I had been searching for all along. Every step we took together felt like a step towards a lifetime of love and happiness.
Over the past decade, we have shared so many adventures and memories. We have laughed, cried, and loved each other, and I am so grateful for every moment we have spent as husband and wife.
You are my rock, my sanctuary, my everything. I am so grateful to have you by my side, and I will love you until the end of time.
With all my heart,
(Your husband)
