warts and all
including all faults or other unpleasant facts. Because no one is perfect, you have to accept people warts and all. (http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/warts and all)

To Joanna: No, I wouldn't say "I love you, warts and all" myself:) But still: it may be used to describe somebody else's feelings in a narration.
An example from Collins Cobuild Idioms Dictionary (HarperCollins Publishers, 2002):
"Judith would not be the first wife to have got the measure of her husband and decided that he is still the man for her, warts and all."

More alternatives (less objectionable, I hope:)
I love you with all my heart and soul.

You are the world to me.

I love you dearly, deeply, wholly.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Joanna Carroll : to raczej oznacza lubic/kochac kogos bez wzgledu na wady/wyglad... Kobieta czuje sie zupelnie inaczej gdy facet mowi 'kocham cie od stop do glowy', o wiele lepiej, niz gdyby powiedzial 'i love you, warts and all...' mezczyzni moga nie wyczuc tego niuansu.

Is it not the meaning here? If you love some "od stóp aż do głowy" you love EVERYTHING about the guy (warts and all:)//thank you, Joanna. Please also see the note I posted:)
