I had this heartfelt concept for this post but then I thought: "No. Let's not." So instead, I'd like to share with you our wedding vows. They were written the morning of the wedding, and I tweaked them until like an hour before the ceremony. Our friend who officiated read them aloud for the both of us. I paraphrased William Shakespeare and F. Scott Fitzgerald (cause I'm super pretentious.). I keep them in a folder on my laptop called Important Shit. And I think they're lovely.
I love you, and that is
the beginning of everything.
I come here today to join
my life with my best friend.
I pledge to be true to
you, to respect you, and to grow with you through the years.
I will hold you above all
others.
Wherever you will go, I
will go.
Whatever you will face, I
will face.
Through laughter or tears,
through riches or poverty, I vow here that this love will be my only
love.
My heart is ever at your
service, and I will make my home in yours from this day forward.
So there ya go. A glimpse into our wedding, because we didn't film the ceremony and I keep forgetting to get pictures printed to keep with me at all times so I can whip out a photo album.
PS we forgot to eat the piece of wedding cake we've had in our freezer last night so we're eating it tonight. Extended anniversary!
