I love you,
you make me so very proud,
I want to shout it from the roof-tops,
I want to say it right out loud.

Because you are so unbelievable,
a miracle, right there before my eyes,
I feel like I've won the lottery,
and I feel like I've won the first prize.
 
They say from little acorns....,
ours you've carefully nurtured with tender loving care,
and now when I look in a mirror,
I see a proud father standing there.
 
I love you more than Edel Weiss itself,
more than the Austrian mountains and their snow covered peaks,
and when I think of you and listen,
my hearts true love truly speaks.

I am so very, very happy,
my love for you is bursting at the seams,
because you are not only my inspiration,
you are my love, my hope and my dreams.

Our child will have a wonderful mother,
you are caring, loving, thoughtful and kind,
and I'm looking forward to our future,
our three destinies are forever entwined.

It was probably written long ago,
we would never be just the two,
and I'm so happy that we wed,
I'm so lucky to have married you.

Because, I am so fantastically happy,
this is as good as life gets,
and if I was betting on that happiness lasting,
well, that would be one of life's safest bets.
 
So, if you haven't guessed it by now,
I am so very happy, on the surface and deep inside,
and I'm just so very, very glad,
that I chose you as my bride.

And I just wanted to say thank you,
from the very bottom of my heart,
I just wanted to say thank you,
for giving our new life such a happy start.
