Hi, so it might be early (I personally don't think i tis because of how often Writers block hits me, and lately I've been feeling very inspired).. Pretty much, I want 5 sentences or so to incorporate the night I had my wreck.. I just don't know how to put into tear-jerker words? (I'm really not aiming for just tear jerker, I'm aiming for "that's so sweet now hand over the kleenex")
I'll give you a little information..
A month after Jerry(Fiance) and I moved in together, right after I got my license, I got into a wreck. I was on my way home from Walmart since that was the only place that would cash my check.. and before I got on the interstate to go home, A car ran into me and we rickaschaed.. the impact of both hits left my car totaled.. the front end of my car was all the way up to my window, and my door was jammed.. I was thrown against the window and because of my head hitting the window I blacked out for a minute or three.. all that went through my mind other than thoughts of my parents was "Did I tell Jerry that I loved him last time I talked to him? Was this morning really the last time I'll ever see him again? God, please don't take me away from this man.."
Thankfully, I made it out alive.. though, the police officers who came to the scene were amazed that I walked away with only a cut from the seat belt, three bad bruises, a slight concussion and a messed up knee. Jerry drives a wrecker (he tows wrecks, illigally parked cars, and some stuff for the university here) .. The police officer called him to tell him I had been in a horrible wreck but I was okay.. He was about 35 minutes away from the scene but he dropped everything and made it to the scene on time.. His first words when he got out of the wrecker was "Are you okay?" And then we hugged and kissed and told each other "I love you." ... on the way back to Cola, there wasn't much said.. but after he looked in the rearview mirror to look at my car, I could see his throat tightening up and he grabbed my hand..
I know he was scared that night, and I know he was thankful that he didn't loose me.. I, myself am thankful that God let me walk away from that wreck to go back home to the man I love.. and that played.. a very crucial role in our relationship...
If putting something dealing with the wreck in the vows isn't.. doable.. maybe the night that he had his allergic reaction is...
The week before my wreck, he had a very bad allergic reaction to something outside.. his throat began to swell and close up.. and his whole body swelled up.. it was RIGHT after I got my license.. he REFUSED to go to the hospital, so I had to cuss him out and drag his butt to the car.. he was kinda scared to get in the car with me.. but I drove as fast as I could without getting stopped by the police to get him to the hospital... upon getting to the hospital, he was put on oxygen.. and the doctors said he was lucky I got him there when I did.. We were there from 8pm-7am the next morning.. and I didn't sleep at all that night, I watched him sleep.. and I worried and waited for the docs to tell us something.. I know that night, we got really close.. and he learned that he really could trust me to take care of him..
These were... two very very big events in our relationship.. and I would LOVE to find a way to incorporate them into the vows, I just have issues with the wording..
so..
can anyone help??

I personally wouldn't write too much about either event. They're serious, and while you're lucky to both have walked away from them, I think they might dampen the mood a bit. Think about your families and how scared they would have been at that point -- you don't want to make them all relive the fear.
So, I would recommend adding a line like: "Ours is a love that has been tested through the good, the bad, and the unthinkably scary". or "Some of the darkest moments we've lived through were also ones where our love for each other shined most brightly, and in those moments, we knew we would see each other through thick and thin".

Thank you, that IS perfect.. and yes, after thinking about it.. it would kinda make our families remember both scary times.. I just wanted to say something in reference to those events.. though we went through a house fire one day when I was home alone with our kids (which are dogs, by the way).. I believe the events really did make us realize just how much we loved each other and how thankful we are for each other.. I really appreciate your help!

Shelby,
I would be happy to help you with your vows. I am an officiant and have done all types of weddings in all kinds of settings. Do you have an officiant and where are you getting married? I agree with the previous person that just mentioning that you've made it through difficult times is all that really matters. Your guests/family/friends will all know the circumstances.
Feel free to contact me if you need an officiant or have any questions.
