Our wedding was unconventional and it was exactly what Matt and I wanted. We both had failed marriages in the past, so we planned to do something different this time     1     (express) our desire that this one     2     (last); a sunrise ceremony on the Wisconsin shore of Lake Michigan. We even wrote our vows and     3     (person) information and put them in a bottle. To share our love with the world, we threw the bottle into     4     lake. “It will be     5     (high) interesting to find out where it ends up,” I told Matt.

Since we held this special ceremony, Matt and I had managed to stay together happily. But years later, I began to have a little     6     (anxious) and doubt about our marriage.

One day, Matt went to the mailbox and took out the mail. There was a letter     7     (write) to us. He carried the mail inside, sat down at the kitchen table     8     the letter and opened it. It turned out that our bottle     9     (find) by a couple,     10     were also married on the Wisconsin shore on August 18 twenty. Eight years ago. When we read it in disbelief, my negative thoughts about our marriage somehow disappeared.
