i vow.

6 years.

we will be celebrating 6 years of marriage on august 24th. wow.

do you remember our vows? i remember the jist of them...but was thrown back into how strong my love for you was, when i happened upon them recently...

6 years ago today...i'm sure i was reading and re-reading them...

trying to memorize them just a little as i prepared for our wedding day.

here they are.

from this day, i choose you.

to be my beloved.

to live with you and laugh with you.

to stand by your side and sleep in your arms.

to be joy to your heart and food to your soul.

to bring out the best in you always

and, for you, to be the most that i can.

to laugh with you in the good times.

to struggle with you in the bad.

to solace you when you are downhearted.

to wipe your tears with my hands.

to comfort you with my body.

to mirror you with my soul.

to share all of my riches and honors.

to never take you for granted.

but always give thanks for your presence.

and to play with you as much as i can

until we grow old and still loving

each other sweetly and gladly

our lives here on earth shall come to an end.

my love for you is still strong. it has changed and grown. but it is still strong.
