Mr. S:

You have been my best friend, mentor, playmate, confidant, and also my greatest challenge. I will always be honest with you, kind, patient, and forgiving. I promise to keep a sense of humor. I promise to be a true and loyal friend to you. I promise to listen to your “message.”

I ask for your patience and understanding when I hide your stuff, use your water bottles, and lose your sharpies.

Lets never forget to take time out for ourselves and cuddle in our PJs, eat breakfast in bed, take the dogs to the park, and listen to music until the sun comes up.
But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible.... You have made me a better person as our love for one another is reflected in the way I live my life. I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes “officially” our life.

Everything that is me belonged to you long before this, and it shall be yours long after. I will follow you anywhere and everywhere you lead, Hand in hand and heart in heart.Mr. S:

Passing through life one encounters a great many people about whom one can feel good, bad or indifferent. The good ones have the potential to join an individual’s group of friends. If you take a look at the people we have committed to surround ourselves with we see the fruit of our journey. I have often said that I choose the people close to me because they possess qualities I wish I had. So this is the way the group you see before and around us has come to be. It is through these associations that I hope to grow into a person who is better tomorrow than I was yesterday.

You are no exception to this. You possess qualities whose light I hope I am able to grow both spiritually and emotionally.

You have helped to show me strengths of which I was unaware I possessed and weaknesses which I had previously hoped might stay hidden. These realizations have spawned both change and development.

My association with you has opened my eyes to the fact that love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction. With you I will focus on the things that we are to become while maintaining the memory of where we began.

So…How did we get here? How did so much transpire between us that you stand before me so beautiful? More than can possibly be crammed onto this little strand of beach. We were friends for quite some time prior to assuming the relationship we have known for the past few years. I think this period of acquaintance allowed us the opportunity to realize the many qualities we share as a result of years of hard work and the dedication of our parents. Our parents are amazing and selfless people whom we will one day look and sound like…all of whom, by the way, possess really high beacon scores in the event anyone needs a cosigner for anything.

If I have taken anything from them and could pass anything on it’s this: you must…beat…your…children.

It wasn’t long into our relationship that I knew I wanted to spend my life with you. I had never felt this way before about anyone and I knew early on that this was meant to be. We have in our relationship a friendship that most can only dream of and for this we are truly blessed.

Keats once wrote:

I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion-
I have shuddered at it.
I shudder no more.
I could be martyred for my religion
Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
I could die for you.

Amy, I love you. You are my best friend. Today I give myself to you in marriage. I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you…and at you, and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle.
I promise to cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you, respect you, and love you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together.

I will forever hold you in the highest regard.

I promise this to you for all of the days of our life together.
