the wedding vows

Just because it's sweet, and we never update this blog anymore. Plus, it's extra double cute that he pulled part of his vows from a post he wrote in this very blog itself...(sigh) Ah, love!


His:

I vow to love you and honor you.
You will be first in my heart, above myself and all others.
No plan or goal shall occupy my mind but that you know its detail.

I vow to care for you and keep you well.
I will walk the path before you, and protect you from all harm.
If there is but one piece of bread at our table, you shall eat of it before I.

I vow to know you and to befriend you anew each day.
I will spend countless hours tending your secret garden.
When your heart is wounded, I will play with you, and chase away your fears with laughter.

I give you this ring as a reminder of my love for you.


Hers:

To tell you that you are the man of my dreams cannot possibly do justice to the way I feel about you. You are more than the man of my dreams, you are the man of the dreams I hadn't even thought possible.

You exceed every expectation I ever had for a husband, and my respect for you as a man, as a lover, and as a friend goes beyond measure with words, but that won't stop me from a lifetime of trying.

I promise to not remain the same woman you fell in love with- instead, I will grow stronger, wiser, more joyful and trusting, and better able to express my love for you with each passing day.

I promise to put in the effort it takes to keep our lives and our relationship healthy and strong.

I promise to make our love and happiness as a family my utmost priority.

I promise to support you by being an honorable wife, your best friend and confidant, and, as always, your number one biggest fan.

I know in you I could not ask for more, and yet I cherish the knowledge that you will endlessly surprise and amaze me with your purity of heart and integrity.

Not only do you love me, but you heal me. I am forever grateful and find great honor in being chosen as your wife.
I love you.
