I'm going to do my best to make you laugh and then, when you're not ready for it, to make you a little bit emotional. That's the deal.

Jordan, before I met you I thought I had life mostly figured out. You gently showed me I didn't, and then made everything better than I'd planned.

That's the Jordan we love to tease. Here's the Jordan we're genuinely proud of.

A good marriage is like a good soup — it needs two ingredients and a very long, slow warmth. And ideally, better metaphors than mine.

To love someone is to be a little braver than you were alone, and Jordan has never looked braver or happier than with Jordan.

To Jordan and Jordan: equal parts laughter and love, and long may that ratio continue. Cheers.
