I choose you

To be no other than yourself,

I vow to love you for who you are,

To trust you in who you will become

To grow in life and in love.

I promise to be your lover, companion and friend,

Your partner in parenthood,

Your ally in conflict,

Your greatest fan and your toughest adversary.

I promise to be with you every step of the way.

*****

On this day,

I give you my heart,

My promise,

That I will walk with you,

Hand in hand,

Wherever our journey leads us,

Living, learning, loving,

I will respect and honor you

Always and in all ways

I take you to be my spouse,

To have and to hold,

In tears and laughter,

In sickness and in health,

To love and to cherish,

From this day forward,

In this world, and the next.

I need help where the little * are because I feel it doesn't connect right!
