Joey—

Charlotte seemed unfazed by the needles on her wrist. She had decided to get the tattoo on her wrist, while I had gotten mine on the back of my shoulder.

"Does that not hurt?" I asked.

Charlotte shrugged, "Not really. Feels like cat scratches."

"If I'm not mistaking; those hurt." I stated.

She smiled, "I guess I have a high pain tolerance, or I'm good at hiding it."

"I don't understand. Mine hurts, and still does." I whined.

Charlotte laughed, "Want me to kiss it better?"

"Nah." I smirked, "A regular kiss will be fine."

Our tattoo artist shook her head, "Sounds like a lovely couple."

"Thanks." I grinned.

"So, is there a reason y'all are getting matching tattoos?" She asked.

Charlotte shrugged, "Not really. We're getting married in August, and I don't know. On a whim, I guess."

The tattoo artist took a rag, and gently ran it over Charlotte's wrist. Taking away what ever extra ink was on her skin.

"I hope y'all won't regret these. Tattoo removal hurts; way more than this."

I grinned and shook my head, "Nah. She's the best thing to ever happen to me."

Charlotte smiled, rolling her eyes. Even the artist smiled. It was the truth, however.

When I moved to Nashville, I never imagined being in a band and having amazing friends and falling in love. I never really imagined falling in love with her, someone who was so beautiful.

"Baby, you okay over there?" Charlotte asked.

I nodded, "Yeah. I'm great, beautiful."

~*~*~

Charlotte stood up as I came out of my bathroom, attempting to dry my hair.

"How's your shoulder?" She asked.

I shrugged, "It's fine. Hurts a little."

"Turn around," she grinned, "I wanna see it."

I laughed and quickly kissed her before turning around. Not even seconds later, her cool fingers were gliding across my shoulder blade.

"How's it look?" I asked.

"I like it. It looks good on you, babe." She replied.

My back tensed as she pressed a kiss to my shoulder. She giggled as she wrapped her arms around me.

"You always look good, angel."

I could feel her smile against my skin. She whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too, angel."

"Now I remember why I fell in love with you. One of many reasons." She laughed.

I smirked to myself, "And what are those again?"

She let out a quiet sigh as her finger tips traced over my back.

"I love your passion for music and God, and the combination. I love the way your eyes light up, and those dimples you get when you smile. I love how unbelievably kind you are. I love how playful you are, and how romantic you can be. Even though you get on my nerves, I couldn't imagine my life without you." She went on.

I closed my eyes, looking up slightly. Thanking God for her once again.

"Wanna know what I love about you?" I asked.

"Sure." She replied.

I smiled, "I love that you're this godly person, and that everything you do is out of love. You this beauty in everything, and that's so wonderful. You know who you are, and how beautiful you are, yet you remain modest. I literally love everything about you. The way you're so positive. Or the way you dance in the morning. You're just an amazing person in general and I love it. I love you."

I felt her breath on my back as she pulled. I turned around around, seeing her in near tears. I didn't get a word in before she cupped my face and kissed me. As shocked as I was, I responded. Slowly, my hands went to her waist.

She pulled away, a smile on her face.

"I love how special you make me feel. Joseph, you are the most loving man I have ever met on this earth." She whispered.

I grinned, pressing a kiss to her forehead as she pulled her forward and tightened her grip. There was nothing more that I loved than her hugs.

~*~*~

I looked up from the piece of paper to Charlotte sleeping across the room. She was curled up in my bed, looking peaceful and beautiful as always.

I looked back down to the blank paper. Smiling to myself, I began to write.

Dear Charlotte Mae,
I am currently writing this as you sleep. I am presenting this to you on our wedding day.
When I met you, I knew you were the one. I don't know how. Somehow, I knew you were the one that God wanted for me. I feel so extremely happy that I am marrying you and that I will call you my wife. You've literally been through everything with me. Through these four amazing years with you. You never stopped supporting me, and I will never stop supporting you.

I sighed and put the pen, the ideas leaving my mind. I looked at Charlotte again. I couldn't help but to smile when I saw her.

She made me happy. She made me angry. She made me smile. She made question a lot of things. Most of all, she loved me when at times I questioned myself and what I did.

Like with my solo covers; that hate made me question my career. She made me look past it, and pushed me to ignore the haters.

She was literally my everything.

I looked down, closing my eyes.

"Dear God," I whispered, "I know I've questioned you. I've doubted you at times. I've wondered if you were even here at times. Just; thank you for never giving up on me. For sending me an angel. For sending your son to die for my selfish sins. I can't thank you enough. It's an honor to be praising you through music, showing people how amazing and forgiving you truly are. Thank you."
